Back to the Future II was written by lifelong Cardinals fan, Bob Gale, who “wanted to come up with one of the most unlikely scenarios” for predicting the 2015 World Series champion.

Gale’s pick: the Chicago Cubs, who haven’t won a World Series since 1908.

Well, the Cubs are actually in the post season, and began their prospective march to the World Series with a win over Pittsburgh in the NL Wild Card game last night.

“If the Cubs do make it, then I’m a visionary,” Gale joked to The Daily Herald. “Life imitates art, as they say.”
