It has been 108 years since the Cubs won the World Series and 68 years for the Indians. The teams enter the Series after exceptional seasons. The Cubs won 103 games (with 58 losses), aided by the rapid maturity of their younger players. The Indians won 94 games (with 67 losses), aided by their stellar bullpen. Off the field, there is also a managerial matchup between Terry Francona of the Indians and Joe Maddon of the Cubs. Francona worked for the Boston Red Sox when Chicago’s current brass, including Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer, were also with the Sox.
