A long drought is going to come to an end at the conclusion of the 2016 World Series between the National League champion Chicago Cubs and the American League champion Cleveland Indians.
The Cubs have not been to the World Series since 1945, when they lost in seven games to the Detroit Tigers. Chicago's last World Series title came in 1908, and that was before the team called Wrigley Field home.
The Indians are baseball royalty in comparison. The Tribe last made it to the World Series in 1997, when they lost in seven heartbreaking games to the Florida Marlins (not yet rebranded as the Miami Marlins).
