It has been called the last great American sports story, a quest that has spanned more than a century and captivated millions of fans. In 2016, the Chicago Cubs were at last baseball's champions, breaking the Curse of the Billy Goat and shedding the label of "lovable losers" once and for all.

Led by manager Joe Maddon and built around rising stars Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo, the Cubs brought the Fall Classic back to the ivy-covered confines of Wrigley Field for the first time since 1945 and won the franchise's first World Series since 1908 in unforgettable fashion.

Re-live the Cubs' magical postseason run with Won for the Ages: How the Chicago Cubs Became the 2016 World Series Champions (Triumph Books, November 2016). This photo-packed collection of memories, stories and player profiles produced by the staff of The Chicago Tribune is the perfect look back at the sweet '16 season.
