World Series

CLEVELAND — Pinch us. The 112th World Series starts here on Tuesday night, and the Cleveland Indians will tangle with the Chicago Cubs? For reals? Next thing you'll try to tell us, there are telephones you can carry around that don't plug into the wall that also double as computers.

The 2016 World Series is set, and no matter who wins, it will be a celebration a long time in the making.

The Chicago Cubs are considered the team of destiny as they try to win their first championship since 1908. On the other hand, the Cleveland Indians haven't won a title since 1948, and their fans will be just as excited about the possibility of a win.

The Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians have both earned adoration by punching their tickets to the World Series. Only one long-suffering MLB franchise can obtain a happy ending.

For the entire 2016 postseason, the Chicago Cubs' Kyle Schwarber and Cleveland Indians' Danny Salazar have been like the rest of us—spectators.

When the World Series launches Tuesday at Progressive Field, that could change.

Rosters won't be set until Tuesday morning. There are strong indications, however, that both players could see action.

No matter who wins the 2016 World Series, history will be made. The Cleveland Indians' last championship came in 1948. The Chicago Cubs' last World Series appearance was three years earlier.
