After 4,890 major league games have been played in 2016, we'll get game number 4,891 -- the 38th winner-take-all game in World Series history. The Chicago Cubs pounded the Cleveland Indians 9-3 to force Game 7. Rest assured, it will be dramatic.
1. There will be a Game 7! This is good news for everyone except Indians fans or White Sox fans or Cardinals fans, not because we're rooting against Cleveland, but because we get one more day of baseball. The ultimate drama in sports is Game 7 of the World Series, the long grind of a baseball season coming down to one game, where one pitch, one blooper, one error can determine the champ.
