Indians, Cubs and what might have been

This is the story of what happened just before the rain put a pause in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series. The inning in-between Rajai Davis’ moment of game-tying glory and Jason Heyward’s Knute Rockne-like role in the visiting weight room gets lost in the shuffle of the Game 7 narrative. But in pure baseball terms, it’s the ninth inning that allowed the Cubs to steal the Tribe’s thunder and seal the way we think about 2016.
