everyone loves an underdog story
combine that with America’s favorite
pastime and bam you might just have a
tale of triumph ready for Hollywood
welcome to watchmojo.com where we look
at stories that should be on your radar
in this installment we’re looking at
three facts you need to know about the
Cubs going to the World Series number
three how long is the Cubs drought the
Chicago Cubs are one of the most storied
and admired teams in the league in spite
of their track record they’ve been
having a bit of a dry spell and by a bit
we mean they haven’t won the World
Series since 1908 that’s right the last
time the Cubs won the World Series women
weren’t allowed to vote everywhere yet
people still named their kids ate off
and polio was still a thing
furthermore they haven’t even appeared
in the World Series since 1945 when they
lost the Detroit Tigers Tigers
the reason for this there’s a variety of
explanations from their inability to
foster young talent in their team to an
alleged curse placed on them in 1908 by
a tavern owner who was asked to escort
his smelly goat out of the stadium and
when they were thrown out the man
declared you are never going to win the
World Series because you insulted my
goal but none of that will matter if the
Cubs can bag a win this year
[Music]
number two who are they going up against
only one thing stands in the way of the
Cubs and total victory over the baseball
world in 2016 the Cleveland Indians
don’t think they’re gonna take it lying
down either as the tribe hasn’t won a
title since 1948 this is truly team
believe when no one else thought you
guys could do it a Cinderella story in
their own right you can rest assured
that they’ll be fighting tooth and nail
to take the win home it’s too bad really
against any other team the Indians would
be the underdogs but even if they pull
off a victory they’ll likely be
remembered for crushing the Cubs dreams
rather than fulfilling their own to be
honest though the fact that these two
teams are in the World Series was kind
of unbelievable just a few months ago
number one what is the likely outcome of
the series when a single home run can
change the outcome of the game
calling your predictions becomes a tad
tricky and with the superstitious lot
that baseball fans are many are hesitant
to weigh in on the outcome that being
said most analysts and experts are
predicting that the Cubs will take home
the series Cubs fans were so excited
they drunkenly ran through the streets
and when they heard the team won they
continued to do so if the Indians win
and end their own drought the goat curse
will be alive and well for another year
and Cubs fans will go back to doing what
they always do rooting for a losing team
at this stage though you can bet both
teams are rain dancing their asses off
so which major league team are you
rooting for do you believe in the
baseball curses for more pop culture and
sports top 10s published every day
