As a die hard Reds fan it pains me to say that I am rooting for the Cubs to win the World Series this year.
After all, if that prediction from Back to the Future II comes true it would mean flying cars are next. After all in the 80's it seemed more realistic to predict flying cars to be standard by 2015 than to predict a Cubs championship.
I'm not a Cubs fan but they used to be on WGN when I was a kid. They had a catcher named Randy Hundley who was nicknamed "The Rebel". When he batted, lots of fans in the bleachers would break out the Confederate battle flag and wave it.
Greatest Cub ever: Fergie Jenkins. Look up his stats - unreal! 20 win seasons 7 out of 8 years with 20 complete games in 8 out of 9 consecutive years. And, for most of those, the team sucked.
Present company excluded as favorites, I always liked how Ryne Sandburg played both on the field and off. Sosa provided many thrills even though we now see it as fraud. Those '69 Cubs were good but the Mets were a much better team. I can't wait to sweep the Cards!! Or at least win in 5...?

I think that might be banned now.

Second greatest -- maybe one of the current team -- who knows. 108 years of futility means the bar is not that high.
