Every year, the baseball gods unravel the script for the newest season of Major League Baseball, and every year, through the twists and turns of the season, we search intently to see what kind of story they thought up. Sometimes, they spin together a tragedy, as the 2003, 2004, and 2012 Yankees would surely attest to. Plucky underdog stories, such as the 2019 Washington Nationals and 2021 Atlanta Braves that overcame long odds to win the World Series, have had their time in the limelight. Every once in a while, the opportunity to make history drives the season narrative, as we saw manifest in the 2016 World Series between long-suffering Cleveland and even longer-suffering Chicago.
