Chicago Cubs World Series Celebration Draws 7th Largest Gathering In History

Here is the full list:

1. Kumbh Mela pilgrimage, India, 2013 – 30 million

2. Arbaeen festival, Iraq, 2014 – 17 million

10. Hajj pilgrimage, Mecca, Saudi Arabia, 2012 – 3 million

There are two serious questions needed to be asked about this list.

First, where are the Donald Trump rallies? I’ve been told he has the BIGGEST rallies. Bigger than anybody. I suspect this is all rigged!

Second, how in the name of God did Rod Stewart draw 3.5 million people to a concert?
