Wayne Williams and Street Stall (2015)his father made a pact that when the Chicago Cubs finally played in a World Series, they would experience it together.
Williams' father passed away in 1980, so when the Cubs forced a Game 7 against the Cleveland Indians, Williams drove from North Carolina to Indiana to listen to the game at his father's grave site.

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 television station WTHR Channel 13 while at Greenwood Forest Lawn Cemetery.
Williams explained that his father was in World War II and became a diehard Cubs fan after joining the Navy.
"I think it was because when he was at boot camp at Great Lakes," Williams said. "He probably went to some games, because Wrigley's brought the guys out there for these things and it was the closest thing to big-time baseball he'd ever seen."
Williams was decked out with Cubs gear and a "W" flag in preparation for the win.
He said that his father would have been devastated in 1984 when the Cubs lost in the World Series, but when asked if he thought his father might be watching down from heaven, Williams laughed and said probably no.
"He was a hell raiser, baby. He was a hell raiser," he said.
