What a start, Cubs are fun to watch for me as a Yankees fan.

[rudyflores]

Can you guys just imagine Ron Santo during this. He would be going ballistic.

[bevrosity]

i've never in my life heard wrigleyville be that loud than when i was there for that montero slam. i think my ears are still ringing lol

[luisrosales]

I didn't think this slam was that crucial in the outcome of the series until now. Without it there was a possibility that the dodgers would've taken the first 3 crushing the cubs clubhouse spirits therefore an easy series for the dodgers. Congrats cubs y'all deserved it.

Javy stole home and no one remembers because of that grand slam

[IAmJoeJericho]

Montero swinging with bases loaded, 0-2 count, and 2 outs...I would of froze. Lol

[yurifrommw]

Even though I’m a dodgers fan this game was a great game until the end and it gave me goosebumps

[matthewmaggio]

I remember being at a pizza place on the north side watching this game. Stood up and cheered at my table as this bomb sailed out of Wrigley

[alexisayala]

Forever honored and grateful to have been at this game. I've never cheered louder and longer than I did that 8th inning. Montero and Dex went b2b so we pretty much cheered right through to the 9th.

[lilysaenz]

It must hurt being a Dodgers fan watching them lose every year

[TheHippo]

0:29 if a fan grabbed someone like that today they’d be ejected 😂 crazy to see how lenient they were

[cubzrulz]

Montero may have left the Cubs not necessarily under the best of terms, but he has easily the most important home run in Wrigley Field history.

[rwbteam]

4:13 the literal "fuck you" moment in the NLCS

[fnafmania]

EWW the Yankees cubs stupidest teams spot the difference and pot other different and other the last
