Kyle Swhwarber’s moonshot to stay atop Wrigley video board

Kyle Schwarber #12 of the Chicago Cubs celebrates at the dugout after hitting a solo home run in the seventh inning against the St. Louis Cardinals during game four of the National League Division Series at Wrigley Field on October 13, 2015 in Chicago, Illinois. But pitcher Hector Rondon struck out Piscotty. The Cubs lost, and haven’t played in a World Series since then. “Hopefully, this is just a taste of what’s to come”.

The Chicago Cubs, whose 106-season title drought is the longest in North American sports history, became betting favorites Wednesday to win baseball’s World Series as they recalled a dubious anniversary.

Schwarber was the fourth overall pick in the 2014 draft out of Indiana University and made his big-league debut with the Cubs this year. The Mets had a chance to clinch the NLDS tonight, but Clayton Kershaw limited them to one run over seven innings as the Dodgers evened the series with a 3-1 victory.

The Chicago Cubs will play against the victor of the Los Angeles Dodgers-New York Mets face off, which for now, the Mets lead 2-1. The problem was that nobody found the ball until a fan spotted it – atop the new video board right under the “i” in “Budweiser”. “I just had to control it. It felt pretty good”. In all, Chicago has scored 15 of 20 playoff runs from homers.

The (100-62) Cardinals had the best record during the regular season but were ultimately undone in the playoffs by mounting injuries and a Chicago team that mixed a plethora of home runs with surprising depth in their bullpen.

The Cardinals, playing without catcher Yadier Molina (left thumb), failed to advance in the postseason after winning at least one series the previous four years. The Marlins proceeded to win the World Series during the 2003 season. He surrendered an RBI single to fellow starter Jason Hammel before Javier Baez hit the first Cubs home run of the day over the right-field wall. The Cubs youth has been the leading storyline entering the playoffs and has allowed for many fans to hop along the bandwagon as they beat the Cardinals. “I go, ‘Well, I don’t know where that song came from.’ And probably about 15 minutes ago it came on again”, Kathy, the bar manager, said.
