Many Canadian folks were watching series very closely as well. 

It has some real drama attached to this Chicago Cubs vs.
Cleveland Indians best-of-7 world series:

- Cubs had not won the world series since 1908 (108 years)
- Cleveland Indians had not won world series for 68 years
- Cub fans are well known for their strong support of their team
and "wait till next year" dedication 
- Bill Murray and Bob Newhart are celebrity Cubs fans
- Cleveland was up 3 games to 1 at one point in finals
- only 4 teams in baseball history had ever come back from being
down 3 games to 1
- Game 7 (last night) was tied 6-6 at end of 9 and required extra
10th inning

Under strange coincidence 
- There are 108 double stitches on a baseball - same number of
years that cubs went without winning world series
- someone tweeted this 2 years ago - Nov 04, 2014 
https://www.wired.com/2016/11/tweet-predicted-world-series/

" 2016 World Series.

Cubs vs Indians

And then the world will end with the score tied in game seven in
extra innings #apocalypse"
