In 2016 the Chicago Cubs beat the Cleveland Indians in a memorable seven-game World Series classic. It was the first time in 108 years the Cubs got to raise the trophy. Now which team owns the longest drought?

With spring training just starting up, it will be a magical year for at least one team. Which team? Only time will tell.

Indians fans thought it was their time back last season, but the Tribe fell just short.

Now that the Cubs finally got their chance, who is next in line with the longest Championship drought?

Cubs fans have another reason to celebrate. The Cubs have the highest odds in Vegas to repeat as champions. For Indians fans though, 12-1 odds, (the fourth highest) isn’t too shabby.

Between the Cubs and the Indians, the Red Sox and the Dodgers each carry a 10-1 odds.

For 29 teams it is going to be “Wait till next year.” But for one lucky club will be signing “We Are the Champions” all winter long.
