The Chicago Cubs wrote the cutest excuse note for fans, so everyone can watch Game 7 of the World Series
If you haven’t been following sports, then you might not know that the final games of professional baseball this year are a BIG DEAL. So big that the Chicago Cubs wrote World Series excuse notes for fans, so they can watch the final game tonight. You see, the Chicago Cubs haven’t been in the World Series in 74 years. So when they made it the World Series this year, everyone went NUTS. Now, they’re playing the Cleveland Indians, and if they win, it will be the first time the Cubs have won a World Series in 108 years.
Naturally, everyone wants to watch the game tonight, so the Cubs have created this perfect excuse note.
