Chicago Cubs Shock the World

October 30, 2028 — The Chicago Cubs broke a 120-year championship drought last night, defeating the Cleveland Native Americans 5-2 to win the World Series.

Fans set in stunned silence as players rushed onto the field to celebrate the win. Police reported that traffic accidents spiked dramatically as motorists caught news of the victory on their car radios.  Local hospitals reported an unusually high number of people being rushed to emergency rooms suffering from heart attacks.

The Cubs have not been world champions since 1908, marking the longest period that any professional sports team has failed to win a title.

Manager Johnny Damon said after the game that he is ready to die, because “nothing else in life will ever top this.”

    You may have called this, but we accurately predicted the 2008 World Series using a foolproof logical method!

    What a brilliant method. I wish I would have thought of this.

    As a very very unwilling ’sports’ parent due to the athletic talents of my daughter, alas, I do know much more about Johnny Dammon and the KC Royals than I ever wanted to know–and what I wanted to know was absolutely zilch—and now the Chicago Cubs too…what can a losing streak do except bring its own form of fame to team…enough said.
