The Chicago Cubs broke a 108-year World Series drought with an epic Game 7 victory over Cleveland Indians, and outfielder Dexter Fowler was a big reason why.
The 30-year-old, who was a first-time All-Star this season, led off the Cubs’ 8-7 win in Game 7 with a home run, capping a three-homer, seven-RBI postseason.
Fowler cashed in this offseason, signing a five-year, $82.5 million contract with the arch rival St. Louis Cardinals.
Instead of ignoring the signing, the Cubs bid farewell in an incredibly respectful manner, tweeting: “You go, we go… forever. Thanks Champ”
You go, we go… forever.

Thanks, Champ @DexterFowler! pic.twitter.com/x7uNembV3z
The phrase comes from manager Joe Maddon, who used to tell Fowler that phrase before each of his at bats.
