The Chicago Cubs, one of the oldest of all MLB teams, had the longest streak of years without winning a title of all the major sports in the United States, in fact, the Cubs do not siedevano on the throne in the best league baseball world by 1908 where beating the Detroit Tigers 4-1 in the series became the first team to do "repeat", from then on the so-called curse has been a real nightmare for the Cubs and their fans, as by that time the Cubs until 2016 they were able to go to the World Series once in 1945 where the Tigers were the two MVP Hank Greenberg times to have their revenge by beating them 4-3. This year, after a regular season of 103 victories had secured the advantage of the home court advantage for all the playoffs, World Series excluded, which is why after going down 3-1 and having to play the last two games in Cleveland many took the Cubs finite, but the team led by Joe Maddon thanks to two excellent performances of both starters launchers is the bullpen made sure to play the race 7. race 7 for the players, the club and the fans of the Cubs until the eighth inning had seemed like a pretty easy win until the 'homerun Rajai Davis on a fastball thrown poorly by a tired Aroldis Chapman had given the momentary tie to the Indians, btie that has been broken in the tenth inning when with runners on first and second baseman Ben Zobrist hit a double on the left field line knocking home a point, Chicago is not happy with the benefit of a point he scored another thanks to a single by Miguel Montero always against Luke Shaw. The bottom of the tenth inning Cleveland on the ropes tried to react again with Davis who sent home Guyer but Martinez followed him batting was eliminated by Kris Bryant who threw the ball to Anthony Rizzo who sent dilirious the fans of the Chicago Cubs, one of the most beautiful scenes in the promise of a son to his father to have watched him the victory the Cubs in the World Series that followed thanks to a smartphone from the cemetery where his father is buried the last innings before celebrating victory as promised so many years ago.
