Check out Hillary Clinton's reaction to the Cubs making the World Series

It’s not everyday we experience a moment in sports that everyone celebrates or acknowledges as special. The Chicago Cubs clinching their first World Series berth since 1945 is one of those rare moments, and so far we’ve seen those reactions stream in from far and wide.

Perhaps one of those coolest images we’ve seen though is from a Chicago native with a little Cubs fandom in her blood. She just happened to be campaigning for the office of the President of the United States on Saturday, but presidential nominee Hillary Clinton still found time to check out the Cubs clinching moment on her phone.

Her reaction was priceless.

The photo was captured and shared by Clinton’s travelling press secretary Nick Merrill while on board their plane to the next campaign rally.

It appears to be a genuine shot, though some might question her loyalty after she’s pledged some allegiance to the New York Yankees as well. Fortunately, in sports, it’s OK to support more than one franchise. Though it won’t come without it’s share of ridicule.
