Cubs fans are partying hard at 5:30 in the morning

The Chicago Cubs are in the World Series for the first time since 1945. Yes, 1945.

And that has a lot of Cubs fans in a frenzy, and most are really, really excited. They are so excited that some fans are showing up at bars at 5:30 in the morning.

I knew the Cubs in the World Series would be big I’m just not sure we all realized how big. This is this morning at 5:30 am. pic.twitter.com/uqqImiBT5i

And the fans aren’t just waiting patiently for the bar to open. The bar accommodated the fans.

OK, the first pitch is set to be cast at 7 p.m. in Chicago, giving fans about 12 hours to celebrate before the game. Let’s hope everyone lasts for that game.
