in just five days. and, did we mention? cubs win! an epic championship worth repeating. al was there for the game, and has made his way to chicago overnight to join the history making celebration "today," thursday, november 3rd, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in and good morning, everybody, welcome to "today" on a great thursday morning. matt, where were you 108 years ago? >> can i just say, oh, baby. >> i know, right? >> what a game! i said to my son, this is a game you'll tell your kids about. game seven of this world series. >> not only do we have a game seven, we get a great game seven with all of this drama. even an act of god, a rain delay. we had everything! >> i know. al, of course, was there last

got some screaming fans behind him. he's probably a little bit disappointed this morning. >> not in that crowd. i think everybody's just excited because it is a great day for baseball and for sports. let's start with nbc's ron mott. he also has made his way to chicago. hi, ron, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i've got just one question for you -- how about them there were palpitations all across the country so not for a weak heart. but at the end of the day, the cubs' heart was just a beat or two stronger than the indians. >> reporter: a finish not even hollywood could muster. >> cubs win the world series! they finally won it all! >> reporter: the unbelievable win coming after a nile-baiter where the cubs first stormed to

for the indians in the eighth. a rain delay. and extra innings in this game for the then, the clincher, ben zobrist in the tenth. and with that, the chicago cubs broke the curse and the drought. world series champions again for the first time since 1908. >> this is a dream come true. >> the cheers heard allun wrigley field overnight. just as sweet as the bubbly bath players soaked in after beating the indians in a dramatic game 7. >> cubs number one. >> chicago is exploding with happiness. >> anchored by pitcher kyle hendriks, steady as stoic, the cubs struck quickly. lead-off hitter dexter fowler opening the game with a home run. >> it is gone! >> the cubs adding a pair of

innings to hang on for the victory despite the spirited charge by the indians. >> we're into making history, not repeating history. >> bye-bye to the billy goat and his curse, so long steve bartman. no harm, no foul, all is forgiven now that history has been rewritten. >> this is why i came here. to beat the goat or black cat or god knows what. >> the mood somber but proud in cleveland. >> we'll be back next year. broadcaster harry carey once said someday the cubs will be in the world series. his beloved cubbies showed it out. the waiting begins a new but today it is time to party. >> the best world series ever. >> all right, the party continues here. we have a tweet to report from the president of the united

cubs win the world series. that changed even the south cider can believe in. want to come to the white house before i leave? it is a standing invitation for the cubs much we'll see if they take him up on it. >> you know when was up watching the game? bob kostas was watching the game. even without all of the history, the baggage, the drought, the frustration of these two baseball cities, i think this is one of the greatest world series s >> reporter: yeah, it is one of the great game 7s even if you take away the back story. back and forth. it had heroics, misplays, strategy that was brilliant, strategy that could be questioned. both teams got off the mat. it went right down to the last pitch of the game. it had everything even if it didn't involve two franchises with star crossed histories. >> is there a moment, bob.

telling your grand kids about the game seven in 2016, was there one moment that crystallized it all? >> they blew a lead, a sizable lead, and then everybody across cub nation was saying, oh, my gosh, here we go again. but cleveland has its own experience with that. you had two teams with not exactly parallel histories but overlapping histories. i think there was some anxiety involved. if you had to pick out one thing it would be the after the rain delay that gave them the lead in the the tenth. the indians pulled back and pulled within one and had a man on when it ended. >> as if hollywood needed more to make a great movie. the skies open up, here comes the tarp. the players go in and have a players only meeting. i'm trying to imagine who the actors will be when i watch that on the big screen. >> reporter: well, apparently

runners but had the moments in the post season, he apparently led the brief meeting and the indians had a little bit of mojo going because rajai davis had hit the home run to tie the inning. if there was momentum it seemed to belong to cleveland. some will theorioize that it reset things and gave the cubs a chance to get the bearings again. they got the two runs in the top half. >> you talk about strategy. i think you may r takes out hendriks in the fifth. who is in the middle of pitching a gem, brings in lester, and then the pitch hits david ross in the mask and cleveland scores two runs. had the cubs not one that game, bob, how much second guessing of that call would there have been? >> joe madden is one of the great modern managers but the way he used his pitching staff, chapman and quick hooks for arrieta and hendriks in game six

up to legitimate second guessing and the noise and nonsense had the cubs loss. it is all forgotten and everybody loves madden as they should. >> he is doing a double ex-hail this morning. >> what does it mean to the city of chicago, bob? >> well, it means more than can possibly be expressed as it would have meant to cleveland. they have waited since 1948 and haven't won a title in any sport since the black hawks have won, the bears have won, michael jordan's bulls won six times. cleveland had been without one in any sport since '64. they were looking down to double down in the fall. when it comes to just baseball in chicago, even though the white sox won in 2005, the cubs are the team. the identity of chicago baseball and to go from 1908 to 2016, and i think it is very important

1914. it wasn't called wrigley field until a bit later but wrigley field is the place where all of this played out just like fenway park still exists so all of the ghosts were there when they broke through in 2004, all of the ghosts, all of the history. all itself resides at wrigley field. had they moved to a new ball park, even had it been 108 years. i don't think it would have the texture and drama. people gathered at wrigley field even though the game was being played at cleveland experience it communely. >> we wanted a good world series. we got a great world series. bob costas. we appreciate it. we'll have more on the first title in 108 years including al's big night at the ball park. >> we're jealous. now let's do politics. state of the presidential race five days to go. donald trump urged himself to avoid getting side tracked in the campaign's final days telling the crowd he will stay on point.

with a new poll of likely voters in four swing states that could decide this election in head to head matches. clinton leads by two points in florida and north carolina. she is up by six points in pennsylvania but take a look at ohio where trump moved ahead with a three point advantage. >> it is a family affair on the trail today. both candidates will be in north carolina this afternoon. melania trump heads to pennsylvania for a rare campaign appearance and former president chelsea clinton rallies voters in wisconsin. >> we have reports from both campaigns beginning with donald trump's. peter alexander down in miami. good morning. >> reporter: matt and savannah, good morning to you. campaign aides tell me they're encoloneled by new polling that shows a tightening race in critical states like colorado and new hampshire. but perhaps the biggest news these days from the trump campaign is how little news donald trump is making, largely

to veer off message. >> get out and vote! thank you. >> reporter: celebrating new momentum in some of the newest polls, donald trump giving himself a pep talk in must win florida. >> stay on point, donald, stay on point. no side tracks, donald. nice and easy. >> reporter: trump in the home stretch of the campaign, more disciplined. ticking off a check list of attacks on hillary clinton, dismissing her as unhinged. >> she is the candidate of yesterday. we are the movement of future. >> reporter: the crowd reacting on cue. just days to go, both campaigns making sure they touch all of the bases, airing competing ads last night during game 7 of the world series. >> hillary clinton won't change washington because all it takes is one wrong move. >> reporter: as trump tries to carve a path to 270 electoral votes, kellyanne conway is defending her boss with this

people i care about. >> let me tell you what is nasty. hillary clinton's endless, he is the first republican to elevate a woman to this position of presidential campaign manager. >> he loves women. >> yes, he does. he is very respectful towards women. >> this as trump targets the media including katy tur. >> trump is strategy to motivate the biggest backers. >> the polls are saying we'll win florida. don't believe it. don't believe it. get out there and vote. pretend we're slightly behind. pretend we're down. we're down! predend, right? >> reporter: nearly 16 months after launching the campaign, trump is appearing wistful for the outspoken candidate, a rare moment of reflection. >> it has been the honor of my life to share this journey with you. it has absolutely been.

share this with and ha that is my mother and my father. i know they're up there watching. i just felt that nice breeze. it is hot. but i just felt that nice breeze. they're helping us out. >> reporter: and one note about the intersection of politics and baseball. in the last eight world series since 1924, decided in a game seven during a presidential electioneer, every time the american league team won, the ic every time the national league team won, the democrats won, so if you believe in baseball as any predictor, this morning, the advantage is with clinton. back to you. >> probably doing the whole thing with the baseball. >> need a chalk board or a dry erase board. >> thank you for summing it up. talking about hillary clinton, she is doing everything she can to turn out voters in the key battlegrounds. andrea mitchell is in raleigh, north carolina this morning. hi, andrea, good morning.

hillary clinton coming here to campaign in battleground north carolina. she will be joined later today in this park with bernie sanders in a state that had been leaning democratic but is called by nbc news, a toss up. in the closing days, clinton crisscrosses the country trying to shore up support in the face of the tightening polls. hillary clinton witnessing her hometown cubs win the world series, spending 45 minutes back stage after her campaign rally in arizona. watching the game on an ipad with aides. afterwards, rejoiing and holding up the cubs victory flapg. later tweeting, they did it. 108 years later and the drought is finally over. way to make history cubs! the celebration coming after clinton drew one of the biggest crowds at the arizona rally. >> hello, arizona! >> it is a long shot for her, trying to become the first democrat to win this state since bill clinton 20 years ago.

have a real chance to turn this state blue again. >> reporter: with polls in arizona showing her locked in a tight race with donald trump, clinton is targeting the state's growing block of latino voters. >> half of the people he wants to deport, they've paid more in federal taxes than donald trump has paid! >> reporter: earlier in nevada, snapchating at a hair braiding salon and trying to fire up her volunteers. >> if we turn out our voters, you know what happens? >> reporter: clinton rallying las vegas supporters with a new closing argument. imagining donald trump in the oval office. >> our girls would grow up with a president who proudly ranks women by their looks. who brags about doing things to them without their consent. >> reporter: with her own high unfavorable ratings a big challenge, clinton clearly worried some voters will stay home.

you know, i can't really make up my mind. i don't know who is really going to help me and my family. >> reporter: so she is leaning heavily on a network of democrats. in addition to bernie sanders today, her husband bill clinton, running mate tim kaine and joe biden across the county and president obama rallying democrats in florida today. clinton now trying to avoid talking about her rec time, president obama taking a swipe at his fbi director james comey. >> there is a norm that when there are investigations, we don't operate on innuendo. we don't operate on incomplete information. we don't operate on leaks. we operate based on concrete decisions that are made. >> reporter: a challenge for democrats this year is that the early vote among

it was four years ago because of obstacles in places like north carolina, partly because hillary clinton is not barack obama. savannah and matt? >> thank you. i think we've got a shot now, hopefully. this is in chicago. this is at wrigley field where the cubs are arriving home early this morning, getting off a bus, as you can see, there are fans, jason heyward there. some of the fans still gathered. we're waiting t the big celebration is going to be or it is just going to continue, i'm sure. >> i still see huge smiles. they've probably been going since the middle of the night. >> al is a long time cleveland indians fan. first of all, al, sorry about that and sorry that you traveled

from that point on we just felt like it was our game. >> it's raining in here champagne! >> how you doing? >> hey, al. >> how does this feel? >> this feels unbelievable. it is amazing. i mean it is hard to explain. 108 years. 71 years since the cubs have been in a world series. this is the right group, al, and the right time. right ownership. everybody right on down to the bottom. right down to the last extra-inning game. everybody participated. >> even a rain delay. >> even rain right now. you kidding? it's almost -- i think it is champagne from the skies. >> that's it. >> champagne from the skies. >> congratulations. >> all right. love it, man. >> what an incredible night! and you can feel the excitement. still we're here at harry caray's. we got to the airport, people were going nuts. and you know it is just going to keep going.

to be as close to a national holiday in chicago as anything you could possibly see. >> all right, al, i'm glad you got to experience it, even if it didn't turn out the way you hoped, i'm glad you were there at the game. >> thanks, guys. carson's over in the orange room with reaction to game seven. carson. >> well, this says it right here. cover of this morning's new york post -- "game of the century." cubs and their fans as you just saw with al. perhaps no bigger cubs fan than bill murray. the actor here. just going nuts. then after the game he was taking some champagne to the face here from theo ebbstein. that's the cubs' president, rather. in an honest moment, cubs' first baseman anthony rizzo having this conversation kind of candidly caught online.

>> i'm an emotional wreck. >> it is only going to get worse. just breathe. >> say something i'm an emotional wreck. >> this eerie prediction. 2016 world series, cubs versus indians. then the world will end with the score tied in game seven in extra innings. thankfully he was wrong about the world ending part. but mostly, this was the fun stuff to see on social media last night. these are different generat of cubs fans. there was tons of these pictures. obviously these people have waited a lifetime for that moment. all the way down to the team's newest followers. here is a nice moment from dad writing, buddy, i've got some great news for you in the morning. as you can see, this little boy asleep with his cubs bat right there. it was an absolutely incredible night for the chicago cubs, guys. >> way to go with the apocalypse reference there, too. >> i was trying to work one in where possible.

be there for you. >> reporter: at a grade school in philadelphia, police commissioner richard ross is telling kids about the program they will launch here. the school's principal says on these streets, police see the police officers as the bad guys. they've seen parents arrested by police, quite often, police in the community, it is always something negative. >> that is why commissioner ross wants bigs in blue in this neighborhood. >> does it build trust on an individual level? >> i think it does that. we're in and police/community relations especially in communities of color and the need to cultivate the relationships so we're going to use that to help us do that and i think that is what we're optimistic about. >> robert and ryan are optimistic about their friendship, a bond that has only grown stronger. >> we were outback, you remember that, robert? we were kneeling down and i said we're brothers now, we're family, we're with each other through the good times and the

on our ongoing campaign series "red, white and you," a trend that could have a big impact on how many people actually vote next tuesday. >> let's go to nbc investigative correspondent ronan farrell who's been looking into this. >> hello, guys. i think this will touch a nerve. 1 in 5 voters live in a state that require a photo i.d. to vote but don't know it. in this election cycle, a wave of new laws is than ever just to cast a ballot. >> i just felt so stunned and disenfranchised. and angry. i should be able to go to my middle school two blocks from my house and be able to cast my vote just like every other american. >> reporter: this woman lives in wisconsin. she's a mother of three and a public schoolteacher. and this year she was told she wouldn't be able to vote. >> i voted in every election since i was 18 years old.

voter i.d. law took effect in wisconsin limiting the i.d. you can use at the polls. she is an american citizen who emigrated from ireland when she was just 6 weeks old. she has an illinois driver's license but not a wisconsin-issued photo i.d. or current passport. the dmv says she needed naturalization papers which u.s. immigration services told her would cost $325 and cause many months . >> i'm heart broken. >> reporter: 14 states have new voting laws this election cycle, eight limiting the i.d. you use. >> it varies from state to state. in texas they accept concealed weapons for voting but not student i.d. cards. >> reporter: director of the voting rights project for the state says 10% of the registered voters don't have the right kind of i.d. >> while they are disproportionately poor people, people of color, poor students

i.d. so i can vote. >> okay. >> i don't have my birth certificate but i got everything else. >> reporter: in september, a voter advocacy group recorded a wisconsin dmv turning away this resident, zach moore, who's homeless. >> i'm trying to figure out the other process, like how long would that take? >> six to eight weeks. >> disappointed at the government. i guess to try to keep people from voting. >> zach had a social security card, paytu i.d. but not a birth certificate. that entitled him to a temporary voter i.d. under wisconsin law but he was repeatedly told that wasn't an option. when she showed students at nearby university of wisconsin madison the list of valid forms of identification, some were surprised. >> do you have one of those forms of i.d. with you on campus? >> no. only thing i have is a passport but that's at home. >> i do not have one of these forms of i.d. >> i do not actually. >> on campus, no.

advocacy group is pushing back. >> new voters need to learn about the venue. it is a learning curve. >> reporter: she recorded zach and others being turned away from registration, that led a federal judge to order an investigation. so far courts have struck down or narrowed voter i.d. laws in seven states one wroting in north carolina new provisions target african-americans with almost surgical precision but the laws have numerous >> in our state we have a photo i.d. requirement making it easy to vote, hard to cheat. >> some places they probably do that four or five times. >> we've seen it with in-person fraud. voter rolls are not pristine. >> reporter: a conservative lawyer and activist -- >> you can have people showing up and they don't present i.d. so how does anybody know whether or not there was fraud committed? >> there are conservatives who say this is necessary, this is preventing fraud. >> the most recent comprehensive study of voter impersonation

these laws see a drop in turnout one to two percentage points. that may not seem like a lot but in a lot of close states that could be enough. tens of thousands of people to swing the race. >> you got to make a phone call, go online and find out what's required in your state. >> for certain people, homeless people who don't have proper identification, disproportionately people of color, there are very serious obstacles to getting these forms of i.d. >> you can seee series on nbc news app on amazon fire tv. let us head to al in chicago. >> announcer: "today's" weather is sponsored by netjets. the worldwide leader in private aviation. >> let's take a look at the beloved wrigley field, ladies and gentleman.

they have to appear to be. we forget to cry. we forget to be emotional, to show vulnerability, to show pain. >> for a long time there's been this gender stereotype that men are meant to be really tough and strong and brave. when i dropped out of high school, it was because i was mentally unwell. >> at 17 i was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a severe form. in battling that disease, people forgot that i was a human being. >> i know how hard it is t i know how much of a barrier it can be, particularly for men, whether it might be seen as being weak or not manly enough or whatever. >> we need to talk about this. we need to be honest about it. >> it's one of those things that's kept under wraps so much. it's so much more common than we realize. and we just hide it. >> let's change the conversation. let's make it a point for humankind to recognize that the brain is an organ just like every other part of the body and

mental health mainstream. >> whatever you're going through, whatever pain you're experiencing, you matter most. it's okay to be in pain. you're human. >> it doesn't make you a bad person. it doesn't make you less of a person. it makes you someone who has a condition or a situation that can be helped. so, please get the help. you'll thank yourself for it later. >> here with m mental health, dr. mehmet oz and dr. steven snyder, professor of psychiatry at mt. sinai. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> we're talking about embarrassment again. tuesday we talked about men embarrassed to talk about testicular cancer and now it's mental health. >> the most profound thing is our mental health. and it's not just about lives, it's about quality of life. we spent a lot of time in our joint survey asking questions

about their minds. >> nearly half of the men, 46% say they're embarrassed to share their feelings about mental health, and this is significant. 49% admit that they're feeling more depressed than they let on. >> yeah. >> you know, men don't ask for directions when they're lost, either. this is a male quality of not wanting to get help. go it alone. be brave. it's a known male quality, but sometimes it can get in your way. >> so when you come across men, what do you tell them? how do they get past this hurdle? >> a lot of folks think they have to man up if you really want to man up, protect your family. the most important thing a man needs to do is be there for the people in their life and it's important to let people know, if they're not healthy, they won't walk their daughter down the aisle and be there for their family if they need help. >> does depression manifest differently in men than women? >> well, there are more commonalities than differences. men tend to have an irritability thing perhaps more than women.

themselves. they want to do that anyway, but they want to go off by themselves because they're irritable, they don't feel good and often do self-destructive habits like drinking or drug use because it feels good. >> this subject is geared towards men, but it also should be geared toward the women in our lives. how do women play a role in this to try to help guys become more communicative about things like this? >> first of all, use sports metaphors. but actually, literally, say pass the b i'm here, too. you don't have to do it all yourself. in this survey, we did it together and found profound things out about men and they're very different from women. women want to be there for help. the man wants to protect, but the woman wants to be there for you as well. women want to help, and if you say that to a man, they'll step down a bit and say, all right, i'll let it happen. otherwise, they'll deny. >> day after day. >> sports metaphors are good, but war metaphors.

you don't want to show weakness, they'll attack. so respect the fact that a man has a battlefield mentality and work with it that way. >> doctors, thank you both. >> thank you, matt. >> appreciate it. important information. if you have questions about them, they're about to take part in a live chat on our "today health" facebook page, and you can find more information at today.com. up next, reversing alzheimer's disease. maria shriver on an experimental program showing remarkable promise.

some patients say has literally reversed their symptoms and allowed them to live a normal life. ?? >> reporter: at 50, deborah says her brain is sharper than decades before. >> mentally i feel at least in my 30s. it is amazing. >> reporter: amazing because this mother of four has the alzheimer's gene and struggled with serious cognitive decline in her 40s. >> i was it became increasingly difficult for me to recognize people's faces. and my fuzziness worried me because it wasn't like me. >> reporter: terrified of her future, deborah began an experimental protocol designed to stop the symptoms of alzheimer's. it's called the bredesen program. >> we are getting results that haven't been seen before. >> reporter: california neurologist dr. dale bredesen created it. >> how are you attacking

groundbreaking way? >> we spent 27 years in the laboratory looking at what are the features that drive the underlying problem? >> reporter: he believes alzheimer's is caused by dozens of imbalances in the body that his program is designed to fix. his daily protocol includes eating a mediterranean diet high in vegetables and good fats, regular cardio exercise, fasting at least 12 hours after dinner, brain getting at least eight hours of sleep, and a regimen of supplements to address each patient's deficiencies. >> you are saying that all of these things done together reverses cognitive impairment and/or alzheimer's. >> yes. we see improvement time after time after time. >> reporter: in a small published study, bredesen found his program boosted cognitive functioning in 9 out of 10 alzheimer's patients within six

return to work. did the bredesen program save your brain? >> yeah. >> reporter: this study patient asked us to hide his identity because he is a working physician diagnosed with early onset alzheimer's. when his memory started to slip, he began the bredesen program. a year in, he says his symptoms disappeared. his cognitive test scores back to normal. today, you're still practicing. >> very much so. i'm just functioning very high now. >> program only works for patients in early stages of the disease. do you consider yourself the alzheimer's cure? >> no, of course not. the longest we have the person on a program is four and a half years. we've not had a single example yet out of the hundreds in which someone has gone on the program, gotten better, stayed on the program, and then gotten worse. >> reporter: he's now partnered with the cleveland clinic for a larger clinical trial of his

is done, the verdict is still out. but patients like deborah say they're living proof it works. >> i would stand on my rooftop and shout it out to people. >> i really felt like my life was saved. >> well, the alzheimer's association says it is encouraged by dr. bredesen's initial results, but they do say further study is needed. dozens of doctors across the country have now been trained to administer his program which you can find out more about at today.com. next year he's going to publish a book about his program. lot of people excited about this. other doctors saying wait, don't rush. this is not a cure. and also in this space it is all now about intervention and prevention. get to people early on. >> the good news is it can't hurt, right? it can only help. >> but people talking a lot about fat in the diet. i thought the fact about fasting

walking or going to the gym but really pushing blood to your brain. >> complicated causes but also complicated solutions. >> exa actually. coming up next, jill transforms one deserving veteran's junk room into the ultimate man cave. but first, this is "today" on nbc. putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing. when i come home and dinner's not ready i go through the roof. when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. more accusers coming forward to say they were sexually assaulted by donald trump. i'll go backstage before a show... yes.. and everyone's getting dressed. donald trump walked into the dressing room while contestants, some as young as 15 were changing. standing there with no clothes. you see these incredible looking women.

literally if we sit down on thanksgiving day and these seasoning things aren't correct, the whole day is ruined. taste it, pour it, then we're going to bake at 350. look at that fantasticness. >> talk to me, baby. >> jocelyn, what are we making? >> we took cornbread. it had a cake baby. this is what we got. we got some sugar. you want to add as much air to this, cream this as much as possible. one at a time because you want this to be a nice and silky batter. then slow this baby down. as soon as you start adding in your cornmeal, flour, you make sure this doesn't overdevelop. make sure it is just nice, light and fluffy. we've got our vanilla, buttermilk, that makes a nice moist cake. you got this cast iron because

skillet. you are going to put this right in here in our cast iron skillet. bake this baby up. it comes out so delicious, so moist. you can even put it in a cake pan. you can do these cute little mini buns. whatever you want. >> that is not tha i'm really good at war. i love war in a certain way. n't remember! i moved on her like a [expletive] and congressman rod blum said. send me back to congress, and you send donald trump to the white house. rod blum still supports trump today. and even attacked republicans who spoke out against trump. send me back to congress, and you send donald trump to the white house. rod blum and donald trump. wrong for iowa.

dylan. look who's here. our co-host this morning, mr. nick lachey. al is in chicago. a happy camper hanging out with the cubs. we're going to check in with him in a moment. how you feeling? >> i'm good. i'm running on fumes because i think, like you, it was a late night. you can't turn off a game in the eighth inning, not a game like that. >> my problem is i turned it off in like the third >> it's like a potato chip. once you're in -- you're not supposed to stop until the bag is gone. >> i was one of the few rooting for cleveland on this crew. when they were losing, it was like i'm going to bed. i asked my husband when he came to bed -- he told me they didn't win. >> going into the game, it had such a high expectation level, two teams that had not won in forever.

it was unreal. >> you hope it goes to a game seven and extra innings. maybe not the rain delay. >> even the rain delay was pa nice little change of pace. >> i couldn't believe it. >> give the grounds crew a chance to be in the spotlight for a minute. >> you are a sports guy though. you are very athletic. >> well, thank you. >> am i wrong? >> i'd like to think of myself that way. >> who were you rooting for? was your heart with one team or not? >> i'm from cincinnati. cleveland's like the hated rival. then the cubs are actually me it was like the lesser of two evils. >> ooh. >> but i think just the long suffering cubs fans. to see cubs fans finally have a chance to relish that moment. although i did hear somebody say they've lost their identity now. they're no longer the loveable losers. so what's the fan base going to do? >> the lovable winners. >> we saw a video of them arriving early this morning. for some reason i decided to tweet through the game.

drunk but i wasn't sober. >> that's when you're typing and you're so focused -- >> i know. i never, ever tweet under any influence of anger or anything because you can really ruin your career and embarrass your family. and so i tried not to do that yesterday. >> what are some of the things? >> some of the tweets i sent -- please, theo for president or my agent. the curse whisperer lives. this is what we call sports in america! and then i said -- >> you are a he so >> i was like -- someone said don't you have to go to work? i'm like worry about work tomorrow. then i said here comes the rain again. tenth inning. it just went on. then i snapchatted. you can see -- i think it goes away in 24 hours. >> think about theo though. guy breaks the curse in boston. youngest gm ever. >> say it again. >> boston. >> you said it right. >> does it in boston, turns around and does it in chicago. you got to hire him in

fans. time to come down south. >> al roker is standing by, he's in chicago. how did it feel to be there, buddy? >> we are at harry caray's. and the crowd has been here and we've been having a great time. and i got to tell you, it's the greatest world series game seven i've ever seen. it had a little bit of everything, even a rain delay, which i think is kind of fitting. something to do with this. which was pretty cool. and the other thing, by the ninth inning we had to go downstairs and get into the tunnel to get ready to go out on the field. so i got to see something that -- at first i wasn't sure what i was witnessing. but we were watching these guys were these carts that had boxes on them. turns out they were boxes of world champion gear.

but they kept going from locker room to locker room as the -- as the lead changed. back, forth, back, forth. it was so close. it was incredible. then of course, chicago finally pulls it out and i got to tell you, even though the game was played in cleveland, i think half the people in the stands were from chicago. >> hey! >> you see that final out and the crowd could goes nuts. and afterwards, e at bill murray. he's just -- he was there. he has been such a long-time cubs fan. dancing in the stands, having a great time. and then of course theo pstein, bill and theo were in the clubhouse afterwards celebrating with champagne. it was spectacular. i got to go in to the locker room.

as a chicago cub. and, boy, what a first year to have. it was -- in fact, i ran into his wife, julianna. all of a sudden she -- during the rain delay, guys, they had all come out away from the field. he goes out, she runs back in. she runs in to me. she says i got to get back out there. i've got to see him. he is at bat. he hits that game-winning hit and the rest is >> yeah! woo! >> like i said, make no bones about it, i'm a cleveland indians fan. i lived in cleveland for five years. everybody that took part in that game had something to be proud of. whatever team won, nobody was going to complain about it. but, look. if you're going to lose to a team, you want to lose to the chicago cubs. a team with destiny. it was a spectacular night. >> woo! >> al, we're so happy you're

myself? we'll mail one to nick lachey's family. >> please. please. i'd love a shirt. >> you just -- just text me your credit card number, tamron. i'll be sure to stop and get you that swag. >> i'm buying for everybody. >> all right! there you go. there you go. now you're talking. in fact, i'm going to have to pick this stuff up at the airport. nick, give me that credit card. i'll give you back a garrett's popcorn. >> deep dish pizza. >> on your card. >> this only happens once every 108 years. come on! i'll throw the card out. last night i quickly mentioned i was at this book party. i am on the cover of this book, it is called "a possession obsession." we were in harlem last night. i am obsessed with now, i told nick and dylan, these photo booths that you have at the parties. you go and you get to take these pictures in the photo booths.
