World Series

The Chicago Cubs waited for more than a century to claim a World Series Trophy. Now that trophy is coming to Kalamazoo on February 20.

One of the feel good storylines of the Cubs' World Series victory was "Grandpa" David Ross. He had previously announced his retirement after the post season was over, and then in Game 7 he was thrust into the spotlight. And has stayed there in the aftermath.

In a previous post, I wrote that "what baseball does best is nostalgia". Another great example of this a Budweiser commercial that ran after the Cubs stunning Game 7 victory in Cleveland early this morning.

The thing that baseball does best is nostalgia. The thing that Nike does best is commercials. In the early hours of Thursday, just minutes after the Chicago Cubs won the World Series, this commercial ran on Fox.

Lebron James also made a bet on the World Series Championship and lost terribly.

Everyone is flying the "W" in the Windy City to cheer on the Chicago Cubs to a World Series win.

Yes, I may have a chip on my shoulder about this. If you're a Michigan State fan, you might understand this better than those other guys who think they own the place.

Fans of "Back to the Future 2" know that the movie predicted the Chicago Cubs would win the World Series. If fiction becomes fact, one lucky raffle ticket holder could become owner the iconic Delorean time machine/car from the movie.
