Ah yes, the Chicago Bears vs the Cleveland Cavaliers, truly a match of epic proportions...
Dragon Mountain Fanboy greatest baseball game in history
To be fair, neither of them have won a World Series
Would they hit a football with a bat or throw a baseball for a touchdown?😮
Maybe they'd dunk a baseball or hit a basketball out of the park
😂😂😂
Lol “these moments go under the radar” this game was a top 3 baseball moment of the decade
There's people who literally waited a lifetime (or died waiting) to see that moment lol
Thats why I love his vids you never know whats going to come out of his mouth,how can something be the "biggest" anything and be "under the radar"???
I known people that waited 85 years for the cubs to win. The parade was also one of the biggest gatherings of all time, I agree this was not under the radar st all
Kyle Fast arguably the best thing in all of Chicago sports history other than Jordan
At 5M it was the 7th largest gathering human history.
Luka sees a guy ground out once " He was definately not known for his hitting" Luka, the VERY BEST hitters in baseball only get a hit 3 out of 10 at bats, so you fail 7 out of every 10 at bats, even for the best hitters, so when it says he has a .230 batting average, it means he gets a hit 23 percent of the time, which is not that good, but it could be if he draws a lot of walks and hits for power but baseball stats are very very complicated
A 230 batting average. Is 230 average out of 1000.
@@davidlefkowitz4386 ....Which is 23% like he said...? A .230 batting average is actually 2300 out of 10000. You just added zeros bud lmao
Dude you hit the nail on the head, if Luka ever wants to know baseball like that he'd have to live stream a Q&A about it. There is way too many ins and outs to the numbers of baseball to be explained in a couple hundred characters.
David Lefkowitz are you braindead
I mean he also claims to be a nothing more than a novice within the first minute of the video lol but im sure he appreciates this kind of info.
Shoutout to the Chicago Bears for wining the 2016 World Series the Cleveland Cavaliers put up a great fight 😂
And it took the bears 111 years to do it!
Lol . Well to be honest they did mention the Cavaliers which can be confusing
To be fair a bear is just a grown cub
We'll give him 1/2 credit for getting the species right.
lmao
I still cry watching replays of the game. As a Cubs fan, it was INCREDIBLE
Same, honestly I can't remember much, I was 7. But I have been I diehard cub fan, I still watch it.
Me too. I have seen the condensed version over a hundred times, and it still never gets old. It seemed like an impossible dream not too long ago.
Switched to Cubs when Expos moved.... was probably the only one yelling in the whole town :P
I've never been a cubs fan but during that world series I was
@@TB-gp7kx Agree
Calls them the Cavs 5 times as he pauses on a screen with the Indians uniform 😂
The cubs fans reactions to this win was incredible, there's several videos of that as well. Thinking about how GENERATIONS lived and died without ever seeing their team win, it was very emotional.
This World Series is from 2016, so the Cubs' drought ended up being a total of 108 years.
Ry.the.Stunner to be fair... in Europe, all sports teams in one city have the same name. Still pretty funny tho
That game went so late my kids (2 and 5 years old) I had to wake them up to experience something multiple generations never had the opportunity to do. See the Cubs win a World Series. To understand how hard it is to be a Cubs fan, the acronym for CUBS has always been Completely Useless By September (Playoffs are in September) A moment in history I'll never forget.
@MetalCrow448 Some years the season is won or lost in September though. If anything, it shows how long they've been shitting the bed, the league has changed from that statement multiple generations prior.
@MetalCrow448 I do agree with you though 100%, giving the guy the benefit of the doubt, they don't call it OCTOBER BASEBALL for nothing lol.
The thing that got me living in Chicago, was when they switched from the ending of the game to the local news. People were watching the game on their phones in the cemetery. They wanted to watch the game with their parents and grandparents who had never seen the Cubs win the World Series.
Michael Reilly really, I was also watching in Chicago and they did it do that for me
Luka.
You touch home plate, you score a point. There is no “some times it’s 3 runs,” “some times in 2 runs” thing. Just like soccer - you kick the ball into the net, you score a point. You touch home, you score a point.
Cody Niles nothing pisses me off more than ppl saying points instead of runs
i understand that, i’m just saying in general
JL Media If we tell Luka that someone scored a run, he’ll probably think that they earned the right to work out.
As a lifelong Cubs fan and living through 40 years if heartbreak and misery this was the greatest moment in my life. And by the way the Indians blew a 3-1 lead
Barry Jowers we had zero pitchers. Who wouldn’t of blown a 3-1 lead lmfao. Plus y’all deserved it
@@caleboconnors1919 I don't know y'all had one hell of a pitching staff in 2016
@@caleboconnors1919 stop making excuses. You choked, and you choked the next year to my Yankees as well
Caleb O'Connors either way it was one of the best World Series in history
Caleb O'Connors kluber Miller Tomlin Allen Bauer... yes no pitchers
2016 world series was the single best baseball series I've ever witnessed
16:41 Chicago Bears are football. The baseball team is the Chicago Cubs.
And it’s the Cleveland Indians, not the “Cavs” (Cavaliers.) No worries; I could only name two English soccer teams compared to all the sports teams in the US. So you get some mixed up now and then, who cares??
We arent reacting to soccer team,s but he is reacting to American sports so he should try to at least get the names right.
hifijohn he’s learning though. idk i think it’s kinda endearing when he gets mixed up. he’s learning a lot of info about a lot of new sports in a short time.
I know thats why his videos do so well,hes more popular than all the other sports reactors put together.The only thing is it hasnt been short amount of time his first video was some 10 months ago.
Now go bears beat those cavs, get that hole in one to win the world series!!
The Cubs winning it all in 2016 was so massive, the parade drew the 7th largest gathering in human history (5 million). I was present of course. Go Cubs Go!
This was actually a big and well known moment unlike you thought. It was really important because of all the history and every baseball fan knows about it.
Popcorn Shrimp every sports fans do, even those who didn’t watch baseball understood the importance of this game
The 2016 world series DID NOT go under the radar
As a Cubs fan from a family line of Cubs fans going back to the 20’s, winning the series brought tears to my eyes
I have lived in Cleveland all my life . I paid for that cheap tiny stadium with my taxes . The hell with em . I was thrilled to see Chicago win
its hard to understand what this game meant. this meant absolutely EVERYTHING to the city of chicago. this was generations of pain and losing. the cubs were known as the lovable losers. watching the cubs FINALLY win was for the family members who never got to see it in their lifetime. i would highly recommend the short film on youtube called "Joy in Wrigleyville" to understand what this moment truly meant to chicago and cubs fans.
I've been a cubs fan for my entire life, I watched 100 games a year for 20 years before this moment. My grandfather lived his whole life as a cubs fan and died at 85 never seeing a world series win.
When we recorded the final out of this game. I stared at the tv in shock surrounded by a dorm full of people yelling and screaming, and then I just broke down sobbing
As a life long cubs fan - this was one of the best moments in MLB history (yes I’m biased) they won after being down 3-1 games!!! That’s amazing
1:47 the big head in the crowd is Harry Carey, the announcer for WGN Cubs television. He was just as much a part of the team as any player. Very beloved.
4:50 The lovable losers. Might not win much, but, the Cubs have one of the most loyal fanbases of any team in any sport.
13:13 there is a runner on first base. Then the batter hits a HR. the runner on first counts as a run, and the batter himself counts. therefore, 2-run homer.
16:33 Bears are NFL, Cubs are the MLB
Cheers, mate!
Yeah bears that what he said
@@staciemohler4624 huh?
I’m not a cubs fan by any means but I still get chills every time I see highlights of this game. Probably the best baseball game I’ve ever watched and the greatest baseball moment in recent memory
So glad you did this video. This was one of the most entertaining baseball games ever played, and the happiest moment in Chicago Cubs history, and anyone just getting into baseball is getting a treat by seeing it. I actually envy you a little for not knowing how it turned out beforehand.
I had to stop myself from crying more than twice before the end.
The cubs are famous because of the curse
They're also referenced in a lot of movies and TV shows.
@@RediRoc most famous one is back to the future 2 where the cubs are shown winning the world series in the future to demonstrate how crazy and unbelievable the future is
They are famous for a lot of things, but a main reason is the fact that they were broadcast on WGN to large areas for decades while other teams did not get that exposure
@@dillonlogan1125 yup, I'm from west virginia and have been a cubbies fan since I was a kid in the early 90s for this very reason. Had a lot of friends who were Braves fans bc of exposure on TBS
Let's not forget the fact(s) that:
•They play in, historically, one of the largest markets in baseball.
•They play in the oldest stadium in the game
•Harry Caray
•They are referenced countless times over lots of different media, being one of the oldest teams, playing in one of the oldest markets
•And yes, the draught
No people on base is 1 run
1 person on base is 2 runs
2 people on base is 3 runs
3 people on base is 4 runs
4 people on base is 1st down for the Bears.
@@CharlesEzakichi Or the Cavs!
@@philipem1000 Not without LeBron.
LETS GOOOO FINALLY AFTER 20+ DAYS OF ASKING HE REACTED TO IT LMAOOO YEAAA
IM SO HAPPY YOU REACTED TO THIS I AM A LONG TIME CUBS FAN AND HAVE BEEN REQUESTING FOR MONTHS
The Saints' return to New Orleans and Steve Gleason's iconic play deserve a deep rewind by SBNation is a really good video to react to.
yes, a classic moment. hope he sees this.
As a cubs fan this will continue to give me chills for the rest of my life
My father, a life-long Cubs fan, died in 2015 at age 93 without ever seeing the Cubs win the Series. When the game was stopped for the rain, I knew it was a sign from above that the Cubs would win.
This my friend is quite possibly the greatest baseball game ever played, it had everything drama excitement heart break everything was front and center here and honestly of my 10 years watching the game religiously it’s the single greatest game I’ve ever watched.
The stuff that really puts the importance of the moemnt into perspective is the videos of the 90 year old fans who've been cubs fans since they were kids see their team win for the first time.
I have been a die hard Cubs fan since 1984, having lived thru excruciating moments from that season, and many others in the years afterwards. But when Bryant threw to Rizzo to record that final out, I just collapsed to the ground and sobbed tears of joy for a good 5 minutes after the game ended! And all I could think of was that I hoped somewhere in heaven, my late maternal grandparents, who were die hard Cubs fans for decades themselves, got to see and experience what we all did the night/morning of November 2nd/3rd 2016 (game ended after midnight Eastern Daylight Time)
I was a 21 year old Cubs fan at a crowded Chicago bar with some friends that night. Insane. Wouldn’t trade that night for the world.
I'm from Chicago this was one of the most amazing moments. All of the Chicago area went INSANE after. The celebration went on for days.
I heard that as part of the championship ceremony there were fans at the cubs stadium who were writing on the walls the names of loved ones who never lived to see this moment. 108 years. Pretty big deal man
Let me say this game did not fly under the radar
him continually saying the cavs while rajai davis is front and center on his screen with a giant "INDIANS" across his chest is hilarious lol
Your baseball vids are my favorite!
I wish you truly understood the amazing moments you're witnessing but part of the fun is you learning as we go. Great job as always bro!
now you know sb nation. time to deep dive into either the "pretty good" series or "chart party" series by one of the guys from sb nation named jon bois. he's a god of storytelling and explaining things, and my favorite sports content creator by far.
Not chart party. As much as I love it, it would be too complicated for a novice to understand. If Luka keeps it up, maybe in a year or two.
@@rederik99 yeah thats fair, you're right. I got a little too into the jon bois hype for a second there.
@@Fro00ot0 well the stuff on his own channel is pretty easy to digest, they are just super short
Why baseball is the hardest sport
QB 3/10 completions terrible
Basketball player 3/10 inside the key terrible
Hockey/Soccer goalie blocks 3 shots
out of 10 shots terrible
Baseball player 3 hit out of 10 abs hall of famer
Gianluca Logan 4/10 = goat
Blocking 3 out of 10 is pretty good in soccer if you're talking penalty kicks.
@@psymar well then, going 3/10 in penalty shots as the shooter in that case
Have you ever watched an entire game from start to finish? It's amazing how quickly it will all make sense.
Fun fact- David Ross, the backup catcher for the Chicago Cubs that retired that year, is now the manager of the Cubs 😊 #FlytheW
Cubs fan here - nice video! nice to see reactions out of those who aren't baseball fans. Anyways, I was in Chicago for this game. It was insane. It literally a life moment I'll never forget. Anytime someone says "ooooo my baseball team blah blah blah" I say "Yeah well you know what, I saw the Cubs win in Chicago, so everything else is okay. It's impossible to say in words how amazing this Moment in History was.
Please react to 222-0 Georgia Tech vs Cumberland College Football Game by Jon Bois (a writer at SB Nation)

THE BOIS
lol by the end of the video he was calling them the bears and the cavs
As a Cubs fans this was the greatest day of my life, I was out in college for my first year and this was the highlight
Yes! Thanks for doing this one, I’ve requested it a couple times. So excited to watch
The Cubs actually play in London this summer against the St Louis Cardinals it would be pretty cool for you to go watch them play
GatorZach 1020 Assuming COVID-19 doesn’t change that.
@@darkjedi74 prob will sadly
bevrosity yep. Already officially cancelled.
@@darkjedi74 well as a cubs fan i have to say wait til next year lmao
@bevrosity lmao
Many ironic ties with this game
1. The Cubs won their first World Series since 108 years ago. There are 108 stitches in a baseball
2. The Cavs came back from a 3-1 lead months prior, now the Indians blew a 3-1 lead. Both teams are in the same city.
3. I love Lavish Luka
Yes! Sb nation is one of my favorite sports channels, they have such in depth videos, I’m glad you are enjoying them
You need to watch a Javy Baez slide compilation. There is one on the Chicago Cubs CZcams channel. You will be amazed. His nickname is El Mago, which is “The Magician” in Spanish. He’s truly an amazing ball player and his slides are out of this world.
For future reference, when batting average is mentioned, .250 is about league average. If a player is batting in the .230s he's considered to be struggling, and if he's in the .270s, he's having a good year
Usually the word GOAT in sports means "greatest of all time",,,,but for the Chicago Cubs it meant literally a cursed goat. LOL
Same city as MJ..
Glad to see you watch these vids, really dose a good job at teaching you big moments in sports
Luka: Why do I know the cubs?
Literally every movie with baseball in it: CUBS!!!
Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs and Dodgers are probably the teams mentioned most in movies and TV series.
Planned Development #108 belongs to Wrigley Field.
The movies Taking Care of Business and Back to the Future Part II both feature the Cubs winning the World Series. Both movies are 108 minutes long
The cubs won in the 10th inning with 8 run--108
The distance from the foul poles to home plate at Wrigley Field is 108 meters.
Cubs pitcher Jon Lester was born in Tacoma, Washington, the 108th largest city in the United States
The lawsuit that allowed night games at Wrigley Field is recorded in Volume 108 of Illinois Reports.
I love all the baseball reactions! Keep up the great work!
I found your channel during you nascar videos and your channel is absolutely awesome!! Baseball is a cool sport with some pitches moving at over 100mph, and it’s amazing to think some of these teams play around 170ish games a year🔥
I like how he said that the guy at the end wasnt good at hitting like just because he didnt hit a bomb doesnt mean that hes not a good hitter
As a cubs fan this will be the best world series of my life and In Chicago's history nothing will ever come close even if the cubs take until 2124 to win again it won't compare. My family cried tears of joy when it happened
YOOOOO i waited so long for this :)) thank u dude
LETTTSSS GOOOO. waited for this video!
So happy to see some cubs content! Would definitely love to see more 💕 #flytheW
You should watch “David Bote’s Walk-off Grand Slam | A Breakdown” It is a video by the Chicago Cubs that breaks down a baseball players mind when they play. I think you will enjoy it!
That was such an amazing moment! I watch that sometimes just to smile 😊 His airplane run around the bases is so fun.
I was at that game as a Nats fan so it was kinda depressing for me
This is a great video I'm glad you reacted
This channel is actually a great channel to react to. You gotta do more of these!
Just saying this Rewinder series is really well done and also very informative on big moments in US sports from the past.
The reason you know about the Cubs is because their fans are some of the most passionate baseball fans of all time.
one of the best moments of my life, i ran in the streets with no shoes blasting "go cubs go" on a speaker
As an Indians fan, this sent me into a depression for years. Still happening too.
Only thing I’d change about this video is you calling runs, “points.” In baseball, we call them runs. However, it gives lots of authenticity of someone learning a new sport. Loved this video. GO CUBS
back again because I love the cubs @13:18 a homerun is hitting it over the fence. just that batter, its a solo homreun, 1 on base its a 2 run homer etc. Until its three runners on, which would be a Grand Slam (4 runs, one hit)
Runs - just like in cricket.
One of the best days/nights of my life!!!! Dad, a Cubs fan for 70 years. Me, a Cubs fan for 45 years!!!
Hey mate. I’ve been watching your vids for some time now and was hoping you’d get to this. I tell all of my non baseball friends to watch Game 7 of the 2016 World Series. It was, in short, magical in every sense. Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm a life long Cubs fan. I cry every time I see that last play. I grew up saying "waitlnextchear" (translation , Wait till next year) and effn Cubs. Alas, we're back to saying watlnextchear. Spring training's around the corner! Can't wait for baseball.
I'm glad you discovered SB Nation. They have a ton of videos that you should enjoy.
HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS I WAS LOOKING FOR IT FOREVER
Lol as a huge life long cubs fan it was so satisfying watching this
SAME
was one of the best nights of my life
Thanks Bub. That was great, but be carefull - Baseball is addictive.
That was an unreal game to be at. I was working concessions with my college baseball team at the game and after the game tieing homerun in the 9th all concession stands closed and we got to watch the last inning
People are so upset with him getting the names wrong. Can't blame the guy, he is learning, why be rude to him about it?
The Bears versus the Cavs. A classic baseball series.
As an Indians fan I put this off for three months because this makes me relive the rollercoaster that was game seven hahaha
Cubs are a team that people see in movies and such... Ferris Buller's Day off... Back to the Future Part 2... Blues Brothers (well, Wrigley Field anyway). It's obviously a very old team so it has quite a bit of history to it which often means people recall hearing about them who otherwise aren't baseball fans and it's one of those team names that are quite easy to remember since it's pretty unique. A running joke for a very long time was when you'd fly into Chicago, someone might look out the window at Wrigley Field (their stadium) and say, "Hey look, you can see the Cubs losing!"
You NEED to watch some kind of video explaining the Bartman fan interference incident
“I feel like these kinds of stories go under the radar..”
uhm no, no this one did not go under the radar.. at all lol. One of the biggest moments in all of sports
This was definitely a must see for you
You should also see 2016 World Series at Wrigley field after the win - they could hear the screaming from a few miles away
You have to see the video “Joy In Wrigleyville” it’s a fan perspective short documentary on this series and it’s a must watch if u want to get how important this series was. Must watch for any baseball fan or follower
In 2002, the Greater Los Angeles Area had 4 pro teams win their respective championships:
LA Sparks - WNBA
LA Lakers - NBA
LA Angels - MLB
LA Galaxy - MLS
The Greater Toronto Area also won 4 championships in 2017:
Argonauts - CFL
Toronto FC - MLS/Voyageurs Cup
Wolfpack - Rugby League 1
Raptors 905 - D-League of the NBA
A two run home run is with one man on base, a three run home run is with two people on base, and a grand slam is with the based loaded giving you four runs on one swing.
I remember staying up until 2 in the morning listening to the game on the radio, since I didnt want to watch the game in fear of seeing the cubs losing. When they finally won, me and my dad were screaming out in victory from our front porch, and so were our neighbors. Of course, that happiness only lasted for about 6 days, since the election was next week.
You know the cubs, because they're one of the most historical and memorable sports franchises of all time.
Another cool thing - it was 108 years since a cubs World Series win. And there are 108 stitches in a baseball 😁😁
There's never been a year where all four of the major sports won a championship at the same time, but in recent years Boston and San Francisco have been deluged by championships. Since 2004 or so Boston teams have won like 15 championships split between the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins. In San Fran the Giants and Warriors have also delivered, and they've had good runs from their football and hockey teams too.
