A Cubs Fan Drove All Day To Listen To The Game At His Father's Grave

Decades ago, Wayne Williams, a fan from North Carolina, made a promise to his dad.

"When the Cubs — not if, when — the Cubs got into the World Series, we would make sure we listen to the games together," Williams told WTHR.

But Williams held true to his promise.

He drove all day from his home in North Carolina to Indiana, where his dad is buried.

"I think it was because when he was at boot camp at Great Lakes," he told WTHR. "He probably went to some games, because Wrigley's brought the guys out there for these things and it was the closest thing to big-time baseball he'd ever seen."

"I'll never forget one day he said, start of the season, I forget what year it was, 'This is going to be our year. This is going to be our year. We're going to be 500,'" Williams said.

When asked whether he thought his dad was watching the game from above, Williams laughed. He said he might actually be watching from somewhere else.
