As Kyle Hendricks walked off the field at Angel Stadium on Sunday afternoon, he received a standing ovation. Not for his performance, but rather as a sign of respect and gratitude from the many Cubs fans in attendance for a pitcher they spent a decade cheering on.

Hendricks, 35, pitched for the Cubs for 11 years. He was the last member of the 2016 World Series squad to remain on the roster, and he'll always be the answer to the trivia question of who started the clinching game that wound up breaking Chicago's 108-year curse.
