The Chicago Cubs franchise has not won a World Series title in over one hundred years and it has been a burden on the team’s shoulders for years. There has been speculation from sports-based TV shows and websites for years of when the Cubs will win the World Series. Now, the trend is that pop culture has been predicting when the teams will win major championships, but more specifically, when the Cubs will win the World Series. According to some TV shows and movies, the Cubs will win the World Series within the next three years. Two examples of TV shows and movies that have the Cubs winning the World Series in the next three years are “Back to the Future Part II” and “Parks and Recreation”. Have the stars aligned with recent moves the Cubs have made to improve their team and when the Cubs are predicted the World Series?

The Cubs have made some recent moves that improved the team greatly and have a lot of people convinced that they will contend for a World Series soon. With the signing of Jon Lester, arguably one of the best pitchers from last season, and the call-ups of Javier Baez and Jorge Soler are just some of the recent moves that the Cubs have made to improve their team.

In “Back to the Future Part II”, Marty McFly sees that the Cubs have beaten Miami in the World Series in 2015. On “Parks and Recreation”, while main characters Andy Dwyer and Tom Haverford were in Chicago in 2017 and were told that the city hasn’t been the same since the Cubs “won the Series”.

Well, we are in 2015 and if “Back to the Future Part II” is right, this year is the Cubs year. Will it be? We will not know until we get to the end of the season. Many people have the Cubs contending in the next couple years, including some TV shows an movies. These next couple years will be crucial in the franchise’s history. These next couple years should be a great time to be a Cubs fan.
