Cubs fans celebrate wild-card win in streets of Chicago

The Chicago Cubs picked up their first postseason victory in 12 years on Wednesday, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-0 in the NL wild-card game. Now they'll turn their attention to the St. Louis Cardinals, as the over one-century old rivals meet in the playoffs for the first time ever.

That historic series begins on Friday. In the meantime, the party is on in Chicago. Within moments of the final out in Pittsburgh, Cubs fans spilled into the streets of Wrigleyville to celebrate what truly feels like a breakthrough moment in the franchise's history.
