13 years ago tonight, the Cubs were 5 outs away from the World Series before an incident saw their season unravel. 1 year ago, they prepared to return to the NLCS for the first time since, a series they ultimately lost to the Mets. Tomorrow night, they head back for the second straight year, hoping to end a 71 year World Series drought. With the Dodgers coming to town, let’s look at the offensive leaders in the 7 LCS games I’ve attended, games 1, 6, and 7 of the 2003 NLCS, games 1 and 2 of the 2005 ALCS, and those ill-fated games 3 and 4 of the 2015 NLCS.
