BACK, BACK, BACK TO THE FUTURE

— --

he Chicago Cubs play the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League wild-card game Wednesday, but we already know who will win. That's because Marty McFly learned that the Cubs swept the 2015 World Series when he traveled 30 years ahead in time in "Back to the Future, Part II.'' He also found the 1950-2000 edition of Grays Sports Almanac, which listed the results of every major sporting event during that span.

So we know that the Cubs will win this year's World Series. But what do the next decades hold for Chicago and baseball in general? You've come to the right place, because we traveled 30 years into the future to peek at the 2045 Baseball Almanac.
