The entire city of Cleveland is rallying together behind the Cleveland Indians ahead of the World Series. The momentum has taken the city by storm, and LeBron James has further spiced up the forthcoming event by agreeing to a bet with good friend and new Chicago Bulls recruit, Dwyane Wade.
Both players love their cities, so it only made sense to add something extra to the occasion.
@KingJames Let's talk!!! #WorldSeriesConvo

@DwyaneWade Absolutely!! We're placing a nice bet and more on this one my friend! #WorldSeries #RallyTogether

It is likely the bet will include a charity of some description, but even with LeBron and Wade adding to the upcoming series, it will be special for both cities regardless. With the Chicago Cubs appearing in the World Series for the first time in 71 years as well as the Indians not winning it for 68 years, one drought is likely to end. Either the Cubs curse will be over, or the city of Cleveland will have two championships in one year.
Let’s hope it’s the latter. Go Tribe!
