October baseball in the Midwest

This World Series is honestly the most fun I've ever had watching a baseball game that didn't involved my beloved Reds.  The long cursed Cubs are playing the often maligned Indians.  I've heard a lot of fans say that if the team they were rooting against were playing any other team they'd be rooting for them.  Our best friends in our former town are an absolutely split house.  She was born and raised in the Cleveland area, he is a die-hard (and sometimes obnoxious) Cubs fan.  They have four kids that are basically split 2/2.  Our house is split with Andrew and Robert for the Cubs, Thomas and myself for the Indians, and Catherine doesn't really care.  I decided on the Indians because I'm not going to root against Ohio, and also because our Cubs fan friend can be so obnoxious!  I would prefer Midwest baseball in October be played in Cincinnati, but since that isn't going to happen, it's fun to watch these two teams play!
