The Cubs parade was apparently the seventh-largest gathering in human history
The Cubs World Series victory made history in more ways than one—an estimated five million people showed up for the parade and rally Friday, reportedly making it the seventh-largest gathering of humans in recorded history, according to NBC Sports. (The next-largest gathering was apparently a 1995 Rod Stewart concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which reportedly drew 3.5 million people.) [NBC Sports] [ NBC Chicago]
