Since everyone has been throwing around numbers all week, 14,144. That’s the number of days I’ve been alive and haven’t seen the Cubs play in the World Series. By my count, 209 World Series games have been played in my lifetime. That’s nearly a season and a third of baseball. The World Series games I haven’t skipped entirely, I’ve only halfheartedly watched. I’m a baseball fan. I’m a postseason baseball fan. But even when the Cubs have been bad, and even when they’ve had no chance of making the playoffs, they were often too painful to watch. And forget about the times the Cubs made the playoffs and fell short.
Welcome to the Last Day of Your Life That You Haven’t Seen the Cubs in the World Series
