Indians and Cubs Look to End Historic Title Droughts

In the midst of all the craziness going on in the country in 2016, Major League Baseball has done its best to add to the drama. The Cleveland Indians finally know their World Series opponent, as the Chicago Cubs will head to Cleveland on Tuesday to play in the franchise’s first World Series since 1945.

The Indians are making their first appearance since 1997, but just making it to the World Series is not enough for either time, as both franchises are looking to end insanely long title droughts.

The two teams own the longest title droughts in all of baseball, as the Cubs have not won a World Series since 1908, while the Indians haven’t won since 1948.
