With the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians facing off in the World Series, fans in Illinois and Ohio are full of excitement — and Indiana is smack dab in the middle.
Progressive Field in Cleveland stands about 280 miles Northeast of Ball State, while Chicago's Wrigley Field is about 240 miles Northwest. Indiana doesn't have a major league team of its own, but five different MLB teams are based in neighboring states.
“There are a lot of different teams you see represented on campus, but most of the time it’s the Chicago teams” sophomore broadcast journalism major Ben Schueern said.
