Apparently you didn't follow my post.
Premise: The visiting team is batting in the bottom of the ninth - False.
If the premise is false...

Re: He says he's not dead.
It would be more fitting for the world to end right after the Cubs blow a ninth inning lead in painful, Buckner-esque fashion, and their last batter struck out swinging to end the game. The last mortal thoughts of every Cubs fan would be of their eternal sorrow for loving such a pathetic team.

Re: He says he's not dead.
When the Cubs won the east in '84, they were scheduled to play 3 of the 5 games in Wrigley. But, because of prime time TV concerns, the lords of baseball changed the schedule and the 5th and deciding game was played in San Diego. Baseball also announced that in future, if the Cubs were in post season, their "home" games would be played in St. Louis! That's what really prodded them to put in lights: the idea of playing "home" games in St. Louis. Presumably that would also include WS games as well.
They might cancel the World Series if a meteor that big hits the city. Gotta figure it'd do more damage than just destroying the stadium
Besides, I don't think it's likely the White Sox would agree to play in Wrigley...

Jim Frey lost that series in game one. The Cubs were ahead something like 8 - 0 after five innings, yet he left Sutcliffe in the game anyway to pitch a complete game shutout. Then Sutcliffe was gassed in game five when he should have been well-rested.

Re: He says he's not dead.
I remember raving about The Last Waltz to spouse and offspring. They asked me who it was about, and when I said "The Band" they first thought I was trying to pull one of those "Who's on First" routines.....
Then we started watching, and they were going "hey, I recognize that song!" and "yeah, this song is great!" One of those bands with lots of great songs that everyone's heard yet don't quite remember who did them. (Kind of like Little Feat, everyone seems to think that Linda Rondstadt wrote "Willin'")
I'll have to watch The Last Waltz again this weekend, the title now takes on a new poignancy.....

Re: He says he's not dead.
His performance of The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down at that concert was pretty remarkable.

He was one of my favorites, and it was very cool to get to see him at Summerfest not so long ago.
AV Club has a pretty solid remembrance written up on their website, along with some great clips from The Last Waltz.

At least Robbie Robertson and Levon made peace before his passing

Re: He says he's not dead.
This is incorrect. Yes, there was talk of having to play elsewhere because of no lights, but they ended up playing the series as it should have been. Back then, home field "advantage" was getting the first two games at home and then 3, 4, 5 went to the team that did NOT have home field. Wacked, but true.
I don't need to look it up to tell you that the Cubs won game one 13-0. Not only did Sutcliffe pitch a gem, he hit a homer. But who thought about pitch counts and complete games back in 1984?
The Cubs lost in 1984 because of Leon Durham, Steve effin Garvey, and the fact they are the Cubs.

Re: He says he's not dead.
There are two parts to this. As to baseball ruling future Cubs WS "home" games would be played in St. Louis instead of Comiskey starting in '85, I'm 100% certain. As to the order of the playoffs being changed in '84, giving the Cubs two home games and the Padres three, instead of the other way 'round, I'm pretty sure, but not 100% . Besides, in what universe is having three home ,games in a five game series not an advantage? It sure worked out that way for the GD Padres and that "effin" Garvey. There are many to chose from, but that grinning eel was an all time Cub killer.
Wiki says the changed schedule in the '84 playoffs was a "myth." I'm going to smash my Cuno Barragan bobblehead!
