There were twice as many murders in the city of Chicago last year than there were in the whole United States in the year the Cubs last won the World Series

Maybe the existence of an Ottoman Empire is one of the cosmic win conditions for the Cubs
Geronimo was still alive the last time the Cubs won the World Series.
The last time the Cubs won a World Series, there was literally a guy sitting behind home plate who had his slaves taken away in the Civil War.

I wonder how many species of plants and animals have gone extinct since the Cubs last won the World Series
>>69576488
Obama pls
>>69576488
He's joking. The United States had 120 million people the last time the Cubs won the WS (compared to 320 million now), there's no way that there were fewer than 400 murders in the entire country. Even Norway doesn't have a murder rate that low.
>>69576497
I don't know about plants, but 40 different species of animals have gone extinct since the Cubs last won the world series, including the Japanese wolf, the Palestinian painted frog, and the Portuguese ibex.
>>69576552
Those are just the known species though. How many never discovered species have gone extinct in that time?
The Cubs returned to the World Series four times before the last known Thylacine died.
We had only been an independent country for two years when the Cubs last won the world series.

World Wars as in "officially named" World Wars. Like the ones in 1914-18 and 1939-45.
There are no surviving members of the last Cubs team to win the NL Pennant.
It would still be 22 years until the first World Cup would be held.
It would still be over 40 years until Brazil lost the World Cup at home.

Whether it does or not, the Cubs will still not win a World Series, and not have won a World Series in over a century, while the Giants have three in this decade
