The causes of why the Chicago Cubs beat the Cleveland Indians was how the cubs got there. The Chicago Cubs had the best regular season record.They had some of the best players in the MLB. When they got to the playoffs they had some struggles along the road but at the end of it all they ended up in the world series after beating 3 teams in the playoffs.
However, that could not have been more false when the lost the first game 9-1. It was a humiliating defeat, but exactly what the players, and gamblers wanted to see. Game two did not fare any better for White Sox fans when their hometown boys lost 4-2. Game three gave hope when the Sox won 3-0 against the Reds to put the eight game series at 2 games to 1. The Sox went on to lose games four and five. However, even though the Sox were throwing the series, they were not getting paid. The gamblers had not honored their agreement. This sparked the White Sox, who in turn went back to their winning ways. The Sox humiliated the Reds by winning games six and seven in a no contest finish. The Sox were feeling good about the series when their actions began to harm them. The players started receiving threats from the gamblers that they would harm their families if they did not lose game eight. The 1919 White Sox lost game eight, giving the Reds their first World Series title in franchise history. The scandal however, did not end
The reasons behind many Cubs’ fans believing in this absurd curse can be explained by psychology. A great deal of scientific reach shows that humans often perceive order in random events in order to attempt to understand why things happen. Many studies have proven that humans are prone to sense patterns in random
The Chicago White Sox of 1919 were a clear favorite to win the World Series. They had all of the odds on their
If you’re a fan of the Chicago White Sox’s or the St. Louis Cardinals you might want to put this paper down cause this is just going to probably piss you off. Today, I am going to enjoy every bit of explaining why The Chicago Cubs will win the World Series again for the 2017-2018 season for a historic repeat. Myself, and possibly the rest of the cubs fan base is still at utter shock just saying that our Cubbies (Chicago Cubs) the team that went 108 years without winning a world series finally snapped the infamous “Billy Goat Curse” and brought the great city of Chicago a world championship to the north side.
The teams that were in the 1919 world series were the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox's were the favorite for the game but in the end the Reds had won the game 10-5. This was a major upset and before the first pitch there had been talk of a fixed game. The game was actually fixed so that the Reds would win the game. Gamblers had payed some of the White Sox players to lose the game. The people that had to gain from the White Sox's loss were the people that put bets on the Reds to win the game. The White Sox's were the favorite so they would have a lot of people betting on them to win and not many people would bet on the Reds to win. The White Sox’s that threw the game were called Black Sox’s. There were eight Sox’s that
Did you hear about the Cubs winning the world series and how they ended a 108 year world series drought and broke the "Billy Goat Curse." The Chicago Cubs are A Major League Baseball team that is in the Central National Division. The Chicago Cubs are my favorite baseball team. Before you say this but no I am not a bandwagoner, I was a fan for like 5 years and back then they sucked. What I will be writing about is The History Of the Chicago Cubs and who has been apart of the Cubs and where they are at now.
The last time the Cleveland Indians won the World Series? 1948. The last time the Chicago Cubs won The World Series? 1908. This year one of those teams will be crowned the champions of baseball and its city will have a reason to celebrate. Earlier this summer, Cleveland captured the cities first championship in 52 years and since then the city of Cleveland has been reborn. Sport’s have the ability to inspire, teach, and provide hope. In fact this September Cleveland lost its title of “America’s Most Miserable City” and 76% of Clevelanders would recommend others to move to their city. Biggest reason for the change? The city's first major championship since 1964.
Transition: Heading into the World Series the White Sox were heavy favorites, and people in both cities believed they would make quick work of the Reds.
The Black Sox Scandal was the fixing of the 1919 World Series played between the Chicago White Sox and the Cincinnati Reds. The White Sox team were one of the best to ever play the game. They were a heavy favorite to win the series. Arnold Gandil, the first baseman, came up with the plan to throw the series and persuaded some of his teammates to go along with him. The players involved in the fix were: Joe Jackson, Buck Weaver, Eddie Cicotte, Oscar Felsch, Claude Williams, Arnold Gandil, Fred McMullin, and Charles Risberg. It included the team’s two best pitchers, three of its four best hitters, two out of its three starting outfielders, three of its four starting infielders, and the utility infielder. Collectively, the eight players accounted for 59% of the team’s wins, 66% of the RBIs,
For starters, the two teams had very different pitching. The 1908 Cubs pitching had a combined earned run average (ERA) of 2.14. An earned run average is an average of approximately how many earned runs you allow during a game; however, runs that scored of a committed error or a walked batter do not count towards the ERA. Therefore this stats shows that the 1908 team let the other teams score roughly two runs every game. The 2016 team had a combined ERA of 3.15; meaning that they let up an average of three runs a game, just one more than the 1908 team did. The 1908 Cubs team won twenty-five games by one run and tied twice. If their ERA was 3.15 then they would have tied twenty-five more games and lost two more maybe knocking them out of the playoffs. Another contrast of the two teams would be that the 1908 Cubs ace pitcher, or best pitcher, won twenty-nine games almost reaching the thirty-win mark, something that has not happened since the year 1968. The
One reason the Chicago Cubs will win the World Series is because of their pitching. They had strong starting pitching all year. All of their starters had an ERA under 4.00. This shows they won’t give up many runs by the time they give the game to the bullpen. They also throw a lot of strikeouts, with Jon Lester leading the staff with 197 strikeouts. If the other team can’t get on base, they will have a hard time
In 2004 the Boston Red Sox won the World Series for the first time in 86 years. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series in 2016 to end a 108 year championship drought. What do they have in common? The teams both had a success in the early 20th century, but both blundered for extensive amounts of time before winning another world championship. Both had to overcome a huge deficit to complete their championship winning seasons. Both teams were coming off a successful season the year before, and had big offseason acquisitions to strengthen their team as well mid- season acquisitions. The two also had playoff heroes that dazzled the audience on their paths to victory. The two teams are very much in common, but they are also different teams in
An accomplishment that has sparked a personal growth in my career was the Endure Production Challenge at a Chicago Bulls game. For the week that I worked with Endure, I have learned countless techniques in improving my understanding of dance. As a matter in fact, the first objective that I learned was to build teamwork. Before you can even demonstrate the dance steps, you have to be able to establish bonds within each dance member. The main purpose of this task is to secure that there is a mutual feeling within the team. Once the teamwork exercise is mastered, syncopation and understanding of each dance step come in place. If you analyze professional dancers, you can see that throughout the majority of the time they are in sync with the rhythm
The First deadly sin is Gluttony. Gluttony is defined as over eating more then you should in food and drinks. For example, “ To eat and drink far more than they can hold….Who long before the morning service bell were sitting in a tavern for a drink…And started in their drunken rage..” In the Pardoners tale, it is easy to see the actions of Gluttony.
During World War II, approximately 120,000 people of Japanese descent who lived on the Pacific Coast of the US were sent to internment camps after the bombing at Pearl Harbor by Japan on December 7th, 1941. American citizens made up 62% of those who were interned. And even though these American citizens were being unconstitutionally blocked off from the rest of society, the majority of these citizens still declared that they remained forever loyal to America. Some of the recollections left behind by the internees of their experiences at these camps include letters to their loved ones, diaries, pictures, and even full plays. And while living in often cramped, and poorly maintained conditions, the internees still tried to lead normal lives
