With their World Series win, the Chicago Cubs gained membership to an exclusive baseball league, one that hasn’t admitted anyone for six years. It has a cool name: The Champion’s League. Not the fancy competition in Europe where all the good soccer teams gather once a year to play for bragging rights and snicker at the Americas, but a league of baseball franchises that were once defined by dread and despair before giving new meaning to human endeavor.
The rules of admission are set in stone; failure to meet one would make the Cubs ineligible.
A history of rampant and unexplained ineptitude?
