World Series picks

It will be one to remember

The 2016 World Series will be known as the one where the Chicago Cubs finally made it!!

Long suffering Cub fans will get to witness their squad in the Fall Classic for the first time in 71 years and looking for their first win since 1908.

People forget that Cleveland Indians are nearly the Cubs of the American League....no World Series win since 1948 though they have three appearances with the most recent a loss to the Florida Marlins in 1997 where they came within two outs of taking it all.

Ok...here we go.

World Series

Chicago Cubs vs Cleveland Indians

Which one of the long suffering fan bases will be celebrating? Cleveland had a breakthrough in basketball finally and will be hoping there is a carryover effect. 
Among the subplot is the Boston effect in former Bosox manager Tito Francona who currently manages the Indians will face former GM and architect of that Boston Club Theo Epstein.
Many experts have tipped the Cubs to win and I will join them in doing so. I figure the MVP will come from one of the Chicago hitters...Rizzo or Bryant.
