Once every 108 years …

Wednesday’s Game 7 of the World Series had it all, and will go down as a game we will talk about forever. Thanks to loyal alum and even more loyal blog follower Marty McGowan and his awesome e-mail chain for the following synchronistic events that tie together 1908 (the last time the Cubs won the World Series) to 2016: Along with the Cubs, in 2016 we had our first US gold medalist in the men’s Olympic 1,500-meter run (Matthew Centrowitz) since 1908 and that year also was the first time the 26.2-mile distance was run for the marathon. Marty surmised that perhaps young Centro should get invited to the Cubs’ victory parade? Not likely, but not a bad thought …
