2015 will certainly go down as one of the greatest years in sports history as, after a 107-year absence, the Chicago Cubs finally captured their third World Series title, sweeping a shell-shocked Miami in five games. A 100-1 shot at the start of the season, no one could have predicted…well, I suppose if you had a copy of Grays Sports Almanac….huh.
Certainly, a lot has been made of the famous Back to the Future II prediction of late, as after twenty-six years, the designated season has finally arrived. While providing plenty of fodder for fans and prognosticators, a piece of recent MLB news caused me to stop and think that it was worth taking some stock of the other prediction made by the film- that Miami would have a MLB team in 2015.
