I remember when the Cubs were down three games to one in the 2016 World Series. [View all]

People were coming up to me at work expressing their condolences (my reputation as a Cubs fan preceded me!). I told them not to fear, that I was old enough to remember the 1968 Tigers World Series where they lost the first game; won the second; lost the third and fourth; and came back to win the fifth, sixth and seventh and so shall the Cubs. I never doubted it for a minute.
