This latter form of the rumor resurfaced in October 2015, when the Cubs reached the National League Championship Series (NLCS), and again in October 2016, when the Cubs finally reached the World Series for the first time in 71 years (against the Cleveland Indians).Plenty of theories about the “Back to the Future” film franchise remain firmly planted in the middle of doubt, but one nagging suspicion has finally been confirmed: Donald Trump served as inspiration for the bully Biff Tannen. The film makes no reference to the year 2003 whatsoever, and the only information presented about a Cubs series victory applies to the year 2015. With the Cubs approaching within a game of capturing the 2003 National League pennant in a series against the Florida Marlins, this rumor surfaced again, updated with the claim that Back to the Future II somehow predicted a Cubs victory over Florida in 2003. Predicting in 1989 (which is when the film was actually released, not 1987 as claimed) that Miami would have a major league baseball team in 2015 wasn't much of a stretch, as they were one of the largest metropolitan areas in the USA without a baseball team in 1989, and they were indeed awarded an expansion franchise just two years later. "It's a double joke because they win the World Series against Miami - which major league baseball in 1989." "What better way to give him the idea than with a really outrageous scenario, which is the Cubs win the World Series?" Gale said. Fox, gets the idea from another character of going back in time to make money on sports betting. Gale said the prediction grew out of the plotline in which primary character Marty McFly, famously played by Michael J.
"Back to the Future" screenwriter Bob Gale predicted the Cubs would win the 2015 World Series but is a lifelong Cardinals fan.
#Biff back to the future 2 movie
In a sport where players and fans believe in curses, jinxes and superstitions, maybe it's not so crazy to think a movie has somehow spurred the Cubs to the brink of history. He 1989 movie "Back to the Future Part II" predicted the Cubs would win the 2015 World Series, and the man who wrote the screenplay and imagined this unlikely scenario is Bob Gale, a lifelong St. The broadcast shown in the film merely poked some light-hearted fun at the ongoing futility of the Chicago Cubs, who hadn't played in a World Series since 1945 (or won a World Series since 1908): (Nor would Marty be likely to see a billboard describing the results of the 1997 World Series in the year 2015.) He'd be unlikely to look at the results of a World Series that would not take place for 42 years and utter, "Yeah, right," as if the outcome described were improbable. In fact, it would make little sense for him to utter such a comment, since it is the 1955 Biff who looks through the almanac to use in placing bets. One version of the rumor has the character Biff, who ultimately ends up with the almanac, commenting on the 1997 entry (as described in the example above), but he actually makes no such statement in the film. This rumor began to spread on the Internet in October 1997, immediately after the Florida Marlins (who are based in Miami) defeated the Cleveland Indians to win World Series, either started as a joke or spread by someone who inaccurately remembered the news broadcast scene described above.
This broadcast inspires Marty to buy a sports almanac and take it back to the past with him so that he can make accurate bets on future sporting events, but the contents of the almanac are not revealed in the film. While in the future year 2015, Marty watches a holographic sports news broadcast announcing that the Chicago Cubs have swept an unnamed Miami team (represented by a gator, not a marlin) to win the World Series. At the beginning of the film, time-travelling scientist Doc Brown takes Marty McFly forward in time to 21 October 2015 in an effort to alter the future and prevent Marty's (as yet unborn) children from ending up in prison. As intriguing as it might be to believe so, the film Back to the Future Part 2, the 1989 sequel to the 1985's hit Back to the Future, made no prediction, correct or otherwise, about the results of the 1997 World Series.
