In the city of Chicago, members of the 2016 World Series champion Cubs will never be forgotten. They're in the history books and will never have to pay for another meal in the city again. Sports immortality is a nice perk.

Another nice perk of being part of the Cubs team that won the World Series: cold hard cash. On Tuesday, Major League Baseball announced the Cubbies will split a record $27,586,017.75 in postseason pool money. The team voted 66 full shares worth $368,871.59 each.

Here are some more details on the postseason pool money, via MLB's press release:

The players' pool is formed from 50 percent of the gate receipts from the Wild Card Games; 60 percent of the gate receipts from the first three games of the Division Series; 60 percent of the gate receipts from the first four games of the League Championship Series; and 60 percent of the gate receipts from the first four games of the World Series. The players' pool was divided among the 10 Postseason Clubs: the two World Series participants, the two League Championship Series runners-up, the four Division Series runners-up and the two runners-up in the Wild Card Games. The 2016 players' pool was a record total of $76,627,827.09, eclipsing last year's $69,882,149.26.

A year ago the Royals split just over $25 million, and because they voted only 55 full shares, each share was worth $370,069.03. The pool was smaller but individual 2015 Royals personnel took home a little more than 2016 Cubs personnel because it was split up among fewer people.

Here are the postseason pool breakdowns for the individual teams:

The postseason pool money isn't for the players only. Shares are given to the coaching staff and other members of the team. For most players, a postseason share is a drop in the bucket relative to their annual income. For others like the clubhouse and video staff, it's a financial windfall.
