Baseball's Sad Lexicon: Tinker to Evers to Chance

Wow! That recently?? Ernie Banks wasn't even born then, was he?

I see it this way: If the Red Sox can do it, so can the Cubbies. And my great great great great great great grandchildren will be around to see it! Just think of that!

1910? Wasn't that the last time the Cubs were actually in a World Series?

@TheGovernmentInExile the last one i can think of is 1932, when they went down to the Yankees. still, a looonnnggg time ... thanks for watching!

@TheGovernmentInExile actually, doing a double-check shows that i'm wrong! the last time the cubbies were in a WS was 1945! and of course, the last time they won a WS was 1908 ...
