In every city besides Kansas City and New York, the 2016 World Series was more memorable than Kansas City’s 2015 victory. The 2015 World Series lasted a mere five games. The 2016 fall classic lasted the full seven. The Chicago Cubs became the first team since the 1985 Kansas City Royals to overcome a 3-1 series deficit. Then there is that little 108 years of failure thing.
Given that the Cleveland Indians were also looking to break a historic string of failure of 68 years, the 2016 World Series was going to be remembered no matter how it played out.
