cubs: team of the century

Despite having the longest drought of any team ever for a World Series championship, the Cubs are awarded the highest, more prestigious award in baseball – Team of the Century. The Cubs who have won their division and made the playoffs for the past two years, and have gone 0-4 in the playoffs. The Cubs avoid winning like penguins avoid flying. In 2003 one win away from the World Series a drop ball causes chaos in Wrigleyville that eventually becomes the demise of the Cubs and lifts the Florida Marlins to the World Series. What was the last time the Cubs were in the World Series?

1945 lost to the Tigers 3-4 games
1938 lost to the Yankees 0-4
1932 lost to the Tigers 2-4
1929 lost to the Athletics 1-4
1918 lost to the Red Sox 1-4
1910 lost to the Athletics 1-4

One hundred years of losing and despite all of that, despite the Yankees winning 26 World Series in the past hundred years, despite having less World Series championships even in their own town, they are voted Team of the Century.



Happy April everyone!

This will be the year!
