The Chicago Cubs’ 108-year curse is over, thanks in part to Kyle Schwarber.
In one of the most dramatic World Series of all-time, Schwarber struck first in extra innings for the Cubs. His leadoff single in the top of the 10th inning set the wheels in motion. Despite being pulled for pinch-runner Albert Almora, Schwarber is credited with the go-ahead run as the Cubs won, 8-7.
All in all, Schwarber went 7-for-17 this World Series, including going 3-for-5 in game 7. He started all four games in Cleveland, and pinch-hit in one game at Wrigley, where he was not medically cleared to play in the field.
