MLB 16 The Show: Cubs-White Sox World Series showdown

Share

With the Cubs and White Sox on the verge of Chicago baseball history, it leaves the door open for fans to daydream about an all-Windy City World Series.

With the premier baseball video game - MLB 16 The Show - coming out for PlayStation last week, we worked our magic to create a Cubs-White Sox World Series (which was much tougher than anticipated).

Try after try, we couldn't get the White Sox out of the first round of a simulated playoff bracket, so we flipped it to one-game playoff series and immediately were rewarded with a Cubs-White Sox World Series.

Instead of showing off our ineptitude playing the game, we simulated to the bottom of the ninth inning, where the Sox clung to a two-run lead at Wrigley Field.

That brought us to Kyle Schwarber at the plate against David Robertson with two runners on and two out. Check out the video above to see how the (abbreviated) Crosstown World Series turned out.
