With a roster created with a mix of homegrown talent and savvy trades, as well as strategic free agent signings, the front office has set the team up for success for years to come. The hope of another title is never too far away in Boston. With championships in 2004, 2007, 2013 and, of course, 2018, the boys from Beantown are the Jedis and the Cubs are the Padawans.

It’s time for the long-awaited matchup to finally occur. The North Side against the Chowder Heads.  Beantown against the Windy City. Chicago has enjoyed the upper hand in recent history when these two cities face off. The Bears destroyed the Pats in Super Bowl XX. The Blackhawks forever etched “17 seconds” into hockey legend when they defeated the Bruins in the 2013 Stanley Cup Final.

The last time the Cubs and Sox met in the World Series, Boston won four games to two in the 1918 Fall Classic. That was so long ago the Cubs played their home games during that series at Comiskey Park on the South Side due to its increased capacity. It’s time for these teams to meet again.  Here’s why the Cubs and Red Sox absolutely need to meet in the October 2019 World Series.
