With neither the Chicago Cubs or Cleveland Indians winning a World Series since 1948, everyone is coming out of the woodwork to see who will end their long-lasting drought, including former U.S. president Teddy Roosevelt.

Well, sort of.

A Roosevelt impersonator appeared outside Progressive Field on Tuesday prior to Game 1 of the World Series to honor the year 1908, which was the last year the Cubs won baseball's illustrious championship and came during Roosevelt's second term as the country's 26th president.

It seems like Roosevelt, a native New Yorker, is rooting in favor of the Cubs.
