October 28, 2016. You might not remember exactly where you were or what you were doing if you were asked specifically about that date without any further context. If the date were framed differently, however, perhaps as, “Game 3 of the 2016 World Series,” you wouldn’t forget.
Three years ago today, the Cleveland Indians out-dueled the Chicago Cubs to a 1-0 victory at Wrigley Field, giving the Tribe a 2-1 series lead in what was the most heart-stopping game of the ’16 Fall Classic to that point.
Josh Tomlin and Kyle Hendricks were the respective starters, both clawing their way through four innings and change, neither buckling under the pressure of one scoreless frame after another.
