Wayne Williams drove all day from his North Carolina home to a cemetery in Indiana where his father is buried to make good on a promise he’d made decades earlier. His father, Wayne Sr., died in 1980 at the age of 53. Before he passed away told his son that if the Cubs ever made it to the World Series that they would watch it together. And that’s just what they did in the Greenwood Forest Lawn Cemetery.
“I talked it out with my boys forever. I let them know that I told my dad – we had a pact. When the Cubs – not if, when – the Cubs got into the World Series, we would make sure we listen to the games together,” Williams told WTHR.
