History was made on Monday when the six different Cubs launched home runs in the 8-6 win over the Cardinals in Game 3 of the NLDS at Wrigley Field.

Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan was able to catch up with the six Cubs fans who caught a piece of history:

The Wrigley Field bleachers were built for $200,000 in 1937, and they've lived a good 78 years. They witnessed plenty of wins and a few more losses, millions of beers slugged in elation and about half that spilled in frustration. The ivy grew and the bums sunbathed and the bleachers lived the same existence every year, absorbing each moment, soaking up history. They had seen everything except the Chicago Cubs win a World Series.

Or at least they thought so until Monday night.
