CHICAGO (AP) _ Everything changed for the Chicago Cubs on a rainy November
night. A century-plus worth of heartache washed away by a wave of pure joy.
The Cubs’ first World Series title since 1908 is the runaway winner for top
sports story of 2016, collecting 48 of 59 first-place votes and 549 points in
balloting by AP members and editors. The death of Muhammad Ali after a long
battle with Parkinson’s disease was second with 427 points, and LeBron James
leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to the franchise’s first NBA title took third
with 425 points.
