>> so they're experiencing the joy right now of being world series champions for the first time. as we mentioned in well over a life time. >> after a nail biter of a game including a rain delay in extra innings, the cubs pulled it out, beating the cleveland indians in cleveland, final score, 8-7. they battled back the cubs after being down three games to one in the series, winning three in a row making the taste of victory >> some are saying the rain delay helped them to pull it all off. this is the moment that brought tears to some grown men. it has, of course, been a night to remember for the city of chicago. >> look at this. >> oh, man, you soak in that moment. let's get out to abc's brian who works for radio. he is in chicago, he is in wrigleyville right now with all the revelers. i have to imagine that, brian, that all the partying is still on going at this hour. >> reporter: oh, yeah.

frustration being relieved in one night, probably a few nights i would think. once that game ended and it was stressful, just as you mentioned. it was basically a sigh of relief. there were some tears and then, of course, a roar of cheers. and that's pretty much what we've been seeing ever since. people partying, waiving flags. i just got sprayed with something, i don't know what that was. the fun continues. people are taking in front of marquee. it's just a big party and i expect it to roll well into the morning hours. >> oh, ryan, i wish i was were you are. it sounds like a lot of fun. at one point the cubs might have felt like they had it in the bag? >> reporter: 5-1 at one point. i was at murphy's bleachers. it's right behind center field at wrigley field. people were cheering.

it was an incredible sight. then all of a sudden the hit party started with the indians. then you saw the eighth inning, the two-run home run by raja davis and things got very, very, very quiet. you throw in that 10th inning rain delay in there and people's nerves were shot. i have a feeling some people are going to go straight to the doctor tomorrow morning because their blood pressure was all over the place. it was an incredibly tense moment and the top of the 10th. they were able to finish things off. that's the explosion of joy happened. just an incredible ride for about, what, four hours there. very, very intense. >> so, brian, relive that moment when joe buck announces that the cubs are world series champions. describe some of the emotions that you saw on display, just i

describe that moment being there in wrigleyville. >> reporter: yeah. first of all, the point leading up to that moment we saw a lot of people with their hands folded, their hands covering their face. you know, they had this feeling that steve was lurking in the corner, 2003. five outs to go, cubs getting close to winning the world series, then things unravelled. lot of people flash back to 1984. the bottom fell the people here knew it wasn't over until it was over. so when it was finally over, just an absolute relief. just a burst of cheers. interestingly enough, the televised broadcast we were watching was on a slight delay. people were listening to the radio outside far away. we heard them burst out into cheers first and then we saw the play play out. it was pretty incredible. almost like an echo effect through the streets of

the celebration. ryan, thank you so much for joining us. >> congratulations. >> you saw that sign, it did happen, if we needed any further proof, here is the cover "the chicago tribune." >> wow. >> tomorrow morning's cover or today's cover. >> simply says at last. >> at last. congratulations, cubbies. >> of course we'll have more coverage on the cubs and the victory, especially since celebrations are on going right now at this early morning hour in the midwest, but we do want to move on to we're only about five days away from elections. and the candidates are looking to convince supporters in state after state that every vote counts. >> donald trump and hillary clinton are both heading to battleground north carolina today continuing to criss-cross the country as they each roll out an army of surrogates. our latest national poll is tighter than ever, clinton and

trump pulled ahead in ohio thanks to his appeal of working class voters across that state. they're neck in neck in florida with a slight edge to clinton. all are within the margin of error. >> clinton was in tempe, arizona last night, one of her biggest crowds ever. clinton is hoping to win over the traditionally republican state, reminding voters that her husband was the only presidential candidate to turn arizona blue in the past 60 plus years. she is counting on support from with trump, plus every group he insulted. >> imagine having a president who demeans women, mocks the disabled, insults latinos, african-americans, muslims, p.o.w.s, who pits people against each other instead of pulling us together. >> as the race comes to a close, donald trump's entire family is out on the campaign trail.

>> i like the name. >> it starts out -- there's 18 ounces of apple cider. to that, add nine ounces of jack daniels. this is a nine ounce cup. >> only nine. >> only nine. one part jack daniels two parts of apple cider. the kicker is, you want cinnamon or apple pie spice to go in. just a couple shakes. good couple shakes of that. that kicks it up. i'm going to pour over ice. what's great about the cocktail, when it's colder out, use warm cider, and that works great. >> that's a great idea. >> alcohol free version is just the cider and apple pie spice without the jack. i have to taste the soup. >> cheers to that. >> happy tailgating. >> wow. >> the one with jack is delicious, but it is nice to have an alcohol-free version.

>> i'll attest to that. >> here's another idea. no double dipping in this party. i have actually individual containers with dips, so here's vegetables and dill dip. pretzels with mustard, cucumbers with hummus. no double dipping. >> that's great. you don't need utensils. >> and then moving on to shrimp cocktail on a stick. basically i got a shrimp, tomato, dip into -- >>ot >> no forks. no utensils or plates needed. you're done. throw everything away and it's simple and easy. grab and go. >> great. >> pork lollipops. they are pork pops, actually, it's pork tenderloin. i love these. we use them displayed on a pineapple where guests grab them. the secret to this is the marinade. try that marinade. >> awesome. >> it's a basting sauce and real simple to make.

that. >> oh, that's great. >> is that good? >> a little soy, ginger, and custard, and that recipe is on mustard, brown sugar. the recipe is on "world news now" facebook page. great marinade, i just love that. >> takes a lot of time. >> no. it's easy. dijon, brown sugar, soy, light oil. i make a double batch to save for basting too grilling your pork tender loin or baking it off, but it makes it delicious, juicy, and gives it a good kick. >> okay. >> finally dessert. you have to have dessert. we'll wednesday with that. >> oh. >> these are the brownie bites, take out, dunk in the caramel, chocolate or strawberry. the dunking action. you can do double. do the triple crown. all three. it works. >> wow. that is a sweet ending to the tailgate party. simple, very easy, and i love

i mean, obviously, it's tailgating. you're not supposed to worry about the calories, but you tried to make this a healthier version. >> definitely. a healthier version of this. simple, easy, and we love it, and once you set this out, you can enjoy the tailgate party as much as the guests. that's what i love about it. >> that's true. >> self-se there, it's healthy and there's apple. >> cider's in there. the jack daniels, and like i said, when it's cold, use warm apple cider in a mug, and, of course, the jack daniels. >> all right. thank you, my friend. happy tailgating. >> see you kendis, cheers my friend. >> tim laird, thanks for joining us. for these and more tailgate party ideas, enter the website at wnnfans.com. you're watching "world news now." i'm digging in right now. see?
