It’s not like we can really go out to the nearest bar and start using pickup lines on every stranger that we meet. It’s not like how it used to be for our parents or for people our age in, let’s say, the 1990s. Everything has come down to swiping left and swiping right and just glancing over their profile and making your determination on if you’re hot enough or not. These ratings just go to support my belief that Game 7 and the 2016 World Series was the most anticipated and best game in baseball history.ĭating for Millennials these days is most likely the worst that it’s been.
Wednesday night’s game is now the fifth-most watched sporting event of 2016, behind the Super Bowl, AFC and NFC Championship Game, and the AFC Divisional Championship game. Fox Sports announced that this game was the most watched baseball game in 25 years with more than 40 million people viewing. This game and series were one for the history books. Cub’s flame-throwing closer, Aroldis Chapman, gets credit for the win in Game 7 that ended the 107-year drought. The Chicago Cubs outlasted the Cleveland Indians in 10 innings by a final score of 8-7.
The Indians battled back in the bottom of the 10th inning with a RBI single from Rajai Davis, but ultimately, it didn’t matter. The Cubs took a 2 run lead in the Top of the 10th on a Ben Zobrist RBI double and a Montero RBI single. What is a classic World Series Game 7 with extra innings? To add even more suspense, a fifteen-minute rain delay. The home team tying the game in an elegant fashion: check. The Indians had something else in mind, scoring 3 runs from a Guyer RBI double and a Rajai Davis 2 run homerun. With the Cubs up by 3 runs going into the latter half of the 8th with the fastest throwing closer in MLB history on the mound, it looked as if this would be the year for Chicago. At this point, Cubs fans could almost taste victory. Veteran hits a home run in the final at-bat in his final game of his career: check. The Cubs take the lead to 3 with a solo home run from the veteran catcher, David Ross. Unforeseen event sparks a comeback: check. The Indians bring the game within two runs after two runners scored on John Lester’s wild pitch, which went off of the facemask of the veteran, David Ross. A visiting “underdog” takes a big lead: check. The Cubs then plated home two more runs in both the fourth and fifth inning to take a 5-1 lead. Close game in the last game of the championship: check. In the bottom of the third, Indian’s Designated Hitter, Carlos Santana, gets a RBI single to tie the game at one apiece. So, after a historic comeback, we start Game 7 of the 2016 World Series in Cleveland, Ohio, with a leadoff home run by Chicago Cub’s Centerfielder, Dexter Fowler.
