“No team in sports has had a more storied journey to a championship series than the Chicago Cubs,” said Durbin. “As a result, Cubs fans are the best in all of sports—their World Series dreams deferred for generation after generation. After finishing the regular season as the best team in baseball, the city of Chicago and the world are ready for this World Series. I don’t care who wins, as long as it’s the Cubs.”
“As a lifelong Indians fan, I know that a World Series win for Cleveland is long overdue – and this is the year they’re going to clinch it,” said Brown. “I’m proud to stand alongside my fellow Clevelanders in cheering for the Indians and I can’t wait to see my city bring home another championship!”
