Top 5 Very Real Facts about VR
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 try 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 the kids Adolf and polio was still a thing! Furthermore, they haven’t even appeared in the World Series since 1945, when they lost to the Detroit Tigers. Fricking 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. But, none of that will matter if the Cubs can bag a win this year.

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 going to take it lying down either, as “the tribe” hasn’t won a title since 1948. A Cinderella story in its own right, you can rest assured that they will 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 of a victory, they’ll likely be remembered for crushing the Cubs’ dreams, rather than fulfilling their own.
