The ecstasy and the agony of World Series fandom, expressed at the game
If there are five stages of grief, Wednesday night proved there just might be 10 stages of joy.
Each stage was experienced by die-hard baseball fans, rooting for either the Cleveland Indians (we're sorry for your loss) or the Chicago Cubs (hooray), evidently.
The World Series game was in fact a teary, emotional rollercoaster, and one that was written all over everybody's faces.

After a nail-biting Game 7, in which the Cubs emerged victorious for the first time in 108 years, the feels were pretty much pouring out of people en masse.
This was history in the making. This was a curse, finally lifted. This was hundreds of people with all manner of weird facial expressions, celebrating their team's victory or mourning their heroes losses. It was awesome.
People expressed all kind of feels.
Defeat.
Shock.
Vindication.
Suspense.
Trepidation.
Desolation.
Revelation.
Anxiety / Boredom.
Messianism.
Pure elation.
God bless baseball and God bless America.
