There’s enough pressure that comes with starting a World Series game. Now, add in the fact that you’re playing in a historic park that hasn’t hosted a World Series game in 71 years, and the team you’re playing for hasn’t won a championship in 68 years. In August, Tomlin’s father Jerry underwent emergency surgery for a condition known as an arteriovenous malformation on his spine. Continue to Article

Shut out twice in the World Series, the Cubs trail 2-1 against Cleveland. Chicago was down 2-1 to the Dodgers in the NL Championship Series following consecutive shutout defeats, then broke out for 23 runs over the next three games to advance.

If the Chicago Cubs win the World Series for the first time since 1908, what happens to fans who have waited for next year their entire lives, the ones sporting T-shirts that read, ''Just win before I die''? ''There's a sense that we paid our dues, we've watched utterly meaningless games in the dead of August ... we tilted our hats in the right way, worn our lucky shirts, stared at the TV at just the right angle, sat in our lucky chair and done all of that for decades and it's finally paying off,'' said Steve Rhodes, whose Chicago-oriented website, the Beachwood Reporter , once posted a song, ''Don't Start Believin','' to remind fans about the danger of hope. At the same time, there is at least a little worry that winning a World Series means losing something developed for more than a century, bolstered by heartbreak, failure and, yes, resilience.
