The ‘Parks and Rec’ one is especially creepy.

1. Someone predicted Dexter Fowler’s home run

2. This tweet from 2014 predicted the Cubs win

3. In 1993, this guy’s high school yearbook entry predicted the Cubs would be World Champs in 2016.

mom walks into my room* -look at my yearbook from '93 #... This dude called the cubs winning the series in 2016 for his senior quote. — @tommydale33Michael Lee’s former classmate Marcos Meza told WGN-TV of his friend’s prediction: “When [Lee and I] connected on Facebook in 2009, I sent him the photo and told him we were nearing 2016. He posted the photo of his prediction on August 8th. After my Dodgers lost it was time for me to make this go viral and BeLEEve in the Cubs for 2016.”
4. Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton signs a man's custom Cubs jersey and notes that 2016 is the year both will win. cc: @SamRoecker — @danmericaCNNLet’s add another thing to Clinton’s stellar resume, shall we? Apparently, this Nasty Woman is also a clairvoyant. While signing a fan’s Cubs jersey, Clinton noted that 2016 would be the year both she and the Cubs would win. So far, so good.
5. Parks & Recreation
There is a chance Lucy predicted the future #ParksandRec — @nataliemoralesIn “Parks and Rec’s” final season in 2015, Tom and Andy visit Lucy in Chicago, and she takes them on a stroll around the city and mentions, “Everyone’s in a really great mood now because of the Cubs winning the Series.” “Parks and Rec” creator Mike Schur told the Washington Post that it was an honest prediction he threw in the script: “As soon as we decided to throw the last season of ‘Parks and Rec’ into the future, into 2017, we sort of started calculating what the world might be like … I was the only person on the staff who cared about baseball enough to track the Cubs’ minor league system." He called it.
6. In 1989, ‘Back To The Future’ was just one year off in predicting the victory
Back To The Future 2 was only one year off. #WorldSeries — @irveymastenBut we’ll give Marty McFly the benefit of the doubt, anyway—especially since he’s been correct about other things, like hoverboards and drones. The curse of the Billy Goat has been lifted and Chicagoans are soaking in their pride, popping champagne on the streets and flying their “W” flags loud and proud. We did it, Chicago. Bill Murray is proud, too.
