'Parks and Recreation' very deliberately predicted a Cubs 2016 World Series win

There was a time not long ago when the idea of a Chicago Cubs team in the World Series was met with skepticism or outright disbelief. For years, the team had not given even the most die-hard fans reason to believe anything would change.

But that didn't stop "Parks and Recreation" co-creator Michael Schur from making a bold prediction during his show's final season, which wrapped in early 2015.

During a press stop in January of last year, Schur told the crowd that a reference the sitcom made to the Cubs winning the 2016 World Series was no joke.
