Cubs fan who predicted 2016 World Series win in 1993 says he dreamt it

Michael Lee just might be the most popular guy in Chicago after correctly predicting in his 1993 yearbook that the Cubs would win the 2016 World Series.

In an interview with WGN-TV conducted shortly after his yearbook quote went viral (and before Game 7 of the World Series), Lee said the prediction came to him in a dream.

"It just came from, when I was a kid, I had a dream about it," said Lee, who attended Mission Viejo High School in California but now lives in Chicago.

"It was up on that red scoreboard with Harry Caray blasting away, 'Cubs win World Series!'" Lee said of the dream. "It was pretty vivid. That's why I remembered it all through high school, and now I'm getting reminded again."
