The Execution Of A Baseball

An unfortunate baseball is being destroyed tomorrow in an attempt to relieve the Chicago Cubs of a curse. This would be the foul ball that a Cubs fan reached out for in Game 6 of last fall’s League Championship Series that would have been caught by the Cubs’ outfielder. The Florida Marlins then went on to win the game, and then go to the World Series. The ball was bought at auction by the owners of Harry Carey’s restaurant (named after a famous Cubs announcer) who immediately announced plans for its demise. The event will be televised nationally, and don’t expect any clemency.

But will they go on to win the World Series they’ve been waiting for since 1908?
