The Cubs and Indians faced off in one of the greatest games in sports history. The Cubs' World Series drought is over. Here are some examples of how New Jersey and the world have changed since the last time they won.
One of the stops on my most recent road trip took me to Wrigley Field in Chicago to see the Yankees play the Cubs. It was Derek Jeter's final game there and I wanted to grab a few seconds of one particular at-bat on video.
The Chicago Cubs signaled that their contentious relationship with the owners of rooftop venues across the street from Wrigley Field is about to become what amounts to a bench-clearing brawl, with a proposal Thursday to erect more outfield signs than the city said it could. That triggered an immediate vow from the rooftop owners to fight in court what they see as a threat to their views.
Brendan Ryan scored on a wild pitch before John Ryan Murphy capped a two-run 13th inning with an RBI single, and the New York Yankees beat the Cubs 4-2 Wednesday after Chicago wasted another dominant start by Jeff Samardzija.
Masahiro Tanaka had his regular-season unbeaten streaked snapped at 42, allowing a career-high four runs in six innings, and the Chicago Cubs beat the New York Yankees 6-1 on Tuesday night.
