It Is A Game 7

It is game 7 of The World Series tonight, the 5th such ‘epic” in the 19 telecast by Fox and Joe Buck.

The Cubs, slight favorites, at 6 to 5, have not won a World Series since 1908, getting beaten decisively by the Detroit Tigers in game 7 of the 1945 World Series, the last time before tonight, the Cubs played in a game in which a win would have given them a title.

There is a much different situation involving the Indians, a similar long drought of no title since 1948, but in their last game facing elimination, but also with a chance to title since that time, they suffered a heartbreaking (3-2) defeat at Florida vs the Marlins in game 7 of the 1997 World Series.
