Chicago Cubs Treat Famous Fans with Gift Box

By Brendan Menapace

After what many believe to be a few cursed decades, the Chicago Cubs have made it to the World Series. And, to celebrate the fans that have stuck by them, the team sent gift boxes to some well-known Cubs supporters, like Chicago Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery, former Chicago Bulls player Scottie Pippen, WNBA player Elena Delle Donne and comedy legend Bob Newhart.

According to the Chicago Tribune, the box includes two postseason-themed leather coasters, a commemorative baseball cap, a "W" flag, wine (also with a "W") and glassware. The box itself has the iconic "W" with the hashtag #FlyTheW, which references the flag raised outside of the Cubs' home stadium Wrigley Field when they win.
