Who will reverse their curse? Cubs, Indians face an epic Game 7

— -- CLEVELAND -- They will call it Game 7.

We have seen Game 7s in a World Series before. But have we ever seen a Game 7 quite like this? Have we ever seen a championship game in any sport quite like this?

Try to wrap your mind around what will be on the line Wednesday, when 174 combined seasons of broken hearts and shattered dreams will hang in the Ohio night. For the Cubs, that comes to 107 consecutive championship-free seasons. For the Indians, that comes to 67 in a row.

And now here we are, a mere nine innings away. Nine innings from one drought ending and one continuing. Nine innings from setting one team's ghosts free, while the other's will be back to haunt again. 

"It's storybook," Cubs catcher David Ross said after his team's 9-3 Game 6 win on Tuesday that forced this grand finale. "They'll make movies about this someday."
