Opening Day is upon us once more. Last season, I eschewed the typical bold predictions in favor of a look at how a 2014 prediction about the path of the rebuild held up to reality. I decided to make this type of historical review my personal season-opening tradition.
My chosen prediction this year is this advertisement for the video game MLB ’12: The Show.
The commercial imagined Chicago’s reaction to a Cubs World Series victory back during the worst year of the rebuild. It got so much right.
