Indians fan might live to regret this World Series tattoo
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/indians-fan-might-live-to-regret-this-world-series-tattoo-062752384.htmlWe can’t blame Cleveland Indians fans for feeling confident. After sweeping the Boston Red Sox in the ALDS and dispatching the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS, their team came into the World Series against the Chicago Cubs flying high, despite being overwhelming underdogs.
Then the Indians took what appeared to be a commanding 3-1 series lead with back-to-back wins at Wrigley Field.
What could go wrong now, many figured? After all, one team had already blown a 3-1 lead in a championship series this year. That being the Golden State Warriors, who lost three straight to Cleveland’s Cavaliers in June. There’s no way in could happen again, and especially not to their Indians.
Oh, but it can, and it most certainly did. The Chicago Cubs came all the way back, winning an epic Game 7 at Progressive Field to become just the sixth team in MLB history to overcome a 3-1 deficit in a best-of-seven World Series. That left many Indians fans feeling shocked, sad, and for one truly confident fan who goes by @MikeNeero on Twitter, perhaps even regretful, as his new tattoo has already become obsolete.
