Between Back to the Future,Secret Confessions (2025) Wifey's BFF Episode 48 Parks and Recreation and the actual events in Cleveland last night, the Chicago Cubs' World Series victory feels all but written in the stars.

But while Back to the Future II picked its MLB champ at random (and for 2015, which is a good chance to use the baseball metaphor "a swing and a miss"), Parks and Recreation took advantage of being much closer to the situation.
“As soon as we decided to throw the last season of Parks and Recinto the future, into 2017, we sort of started calculating what the world might be like,” said the show's creator, Mike Schur, in an interview with the Washington Post. “I was the only person on the staff who cared about baseball enough to track the Cubs’ minor league system.”
“It’s not like I was only person who thought the Cubs were going to be good,” he added. “Every baseball writer in America knew the Cubs were going to be good. I can’t emphasize enough how little credit I feel like I should take for that prediction."
Schur insisted that the storyline in "Ron and Jammy" was not so much fortune telling as strategic foresight. Predicting 2017 in 2013 requires staying in tune with the world.
"It’s a little like, if we had predicted [in the show] that Hillary Clinton was the president in 2017, there would probably be people asking me about that now," Schur added. "Saying Hillary Clinton was running for president in 2014 or 2013...that would’ve also been a pretty easy call to make based on the information that we had at the time. We’re not like wizards.”
Of course not -- that's a different sport.
