Keeping promise, man listens to Cubs win at dad's grave site
GREENWOOD, Ind. -- Wayne Williams kept a pledge he and his father made to each other and shared a moment they'd both been waiting for all their lives.
The North Carolina man drove to his father's gravesite in Indiana to listen to the Chicago Cubs win Game 7 of the World Series. Wearing a Joe Maddon replica jersey and a Cubs cap he'd recently purchased, Williams listened to the Cubs' 10-inning, 8-7 victory over the Cleveland Indians on his smartphone Wednesday night at his father's grave in the military section of Greenwood Forest Lawn Cemetery in suburban Indianapolis.
Williams told WTHR-TV he and his father had a pact: When the Cubs got into the World Series again, they would listen to the games together.
His father, also named Wayne Williams, was a Navy veteran. He died of cancer in 1980 at age 53. Williams said he knew on Sunday night what he would have to do if the Cubs kept their title hopes alive.
