This past week a feud took place between two desperate teams to become the champions of the league. Both teams were considered to be underdogs. Cleveland hasn’t won the World Series in 60 years while Chicago hasn’t won it in over 100. This was the battle of the best and only one team came out on top.

Westhampton Beach assistant varsity coach Keith MacDonald predicted the Cubs to win in an interview before game seven. He said, “I believe the Cubs are going to win it. They made it this far with a stacked team and they have the best closer in the game, Aroldis Chapman; they are virtually unstoppable.”

The Indians were up by two games, but still blew the potential win of the World Series. Even though the Indians lost, they fought hard to game seven which lasted an exhausting four hours and 45 minutes of pure adrenaline and exhilaration.

When the fog had cleared and the game was over, the Cubs came out victorious over the Cleveland Indians. The Curse was over.

The World Series MVP was awarded to Ben Zobrist, who played amazing in the post season, along with Kyle Schwarber, the rookie catcher who returned from an injury only to start the first game of the World Series.

Overall this World Series was considered to be one of the best World Series and game sevens in MLB history. Both teams went all out for this game, and for a team to win the World Series that hasn’t won in over 100 years is inspiring and heart warming.

Coach MacDonald said, “This World Series was the best I have seen in my 44 years of life, and to see the Cubs fail miserably so many times, it’s incredible how a team could eventually turn their whole franchise and staff in to something incredible
