A day after watching their team win its first pennant in 71 years, Chicago Cubs fans weren't close to finished saluting their heroes at Wrigley Field.

Cubs fans - many of whom likely celebrated the NLCS win into the early hours of the morning - filled the streets around the 102-year-old ballpark Sunday afternoon to cheer on players and coaches as they loaded onto several buses for the trip to Cleveland, where they'll play Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday night.

The Cubs, who will face Indians ace Corey Kluber in Game 1, have yet to name a starting pitcher for the contest.
