Cubs prepared to make it “their year”
In 1908, the first Ford Model T was built, William Howard Taft succeeded Teddy Roosevelt as President, Orville Wright flew the first hour-long flight and the Chicago Cubs won the World Series, defeating the Detroit Tigers in five games for the second consecutive season. A lot has happened since then. There are Ferraris and Teslas, there have been 17 presidents, over one million people now fly across the globe in planes every day and the Tigers have won four World Series titles. However, of the innumerable events of the past 108 years, there has not been another Cubs World Series championship.
