Jon Lester started game one of the world series. Home plate umpire Larry Vanover expanded the strike zone for the Cleveland Indians. Cub players lay off those pitches, but the ump kept calling them strikes. Jon Lester had no shot in that game because of the expanded zone in Cleveland. Future hall of famer
He became the first major league position player in baseball history to get his first hit of the season during the World Series.
Dexter Fowler made history with his at-bat for being the first black player to play for the Cubs in a World Series. That's sad! Lead-off game seven blast set the tone to break the 108 year drought, including so called two curses. 1918 series and the billy goat.
