What to watch for in Game 7 of the World Series

What to watch for tonight in Game 7 of the World Series at Cleveland:

THE HISTORY

The Chicago Cubs have the longest championship drought in baseball, dating to 1908. The Indians own the second-longest gap, going back to 1948.

Both teams are 0-2 in Game 7s. Chicago lost the 1945 World Series to Detroit and the 2003 NLCS to the Marlins; the Indians dropped the 1997 World Series to the Marlins and the 2007 ALCS to Boston.

This is the third time in six years the World Series has gone the distance, most recently when the Giants beat the Royals in 2014.
