Cubs Look To End Drought With First World Series Win Since 1908

Game 7, there is truly nothing better in the world. This is what sports at its core is all about. Tuesday night (Nov. 1), the Chicago Cubs offense finally exploded for nine runs to even the World Series at three games a piece and force a Game 7 after the 9-3 drubbing of the Indians in Cleveland.

For Chicago, does the 108-year drought finally end? It would be poetic justice and complete hysteria in Wrigleyville. In Cleveland, will it be another sweet victory, where the Cavaliers came all the way back from a 3-1 deficit against the Warriors just five months ago to win the NBA Finals?

Addison Russell crushed a Dan Otero pitch an estimated 435 feet, extending Chicago’s lead to 7-0 and putting the game out of reach. Russell’s six R.B.I. tied the single game World Series record. Aroldis Chapman closed the door on an Indian comeback, forcing game 7 with a 9-3 victory.
