In 1989, Back to the Future Part II made some ambitious predictions about what the year 2015 would look like, and a lot of them turned out to be true. There are wireless video games, tablet computers and even a functioning hoverboard. The film's most absurd prophecy might have been a 2015 World Series title for the Chicago Cubs.
The Volo Auto Museum is putting its money where Marty McFly's mouth is by giving away a DeLorean to one lucky drawing winner if the North Siders can clinch their first championship since 1908. Vegas pegs the Cubs' odds of winning a championship this year at 15 to 1, which seems slightly high for a team that finished the 2014 season with a 73-89 record.
The car in question can be seen in front of Harry Caray's in River North. If the Cubs end up ending their 107-year title drought this year, someone will actually have to drive around in that thing—the novelty will probably wear off after about five minutes.
