Raymond Gault is the senior vice president of Capitas Financial in Sarasota, Florida. Prior to starting his estate planning career in Sarasota in the 1980s, Raymond Gault was a professional baseball player who played for the minor league affiliates of the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians.
Coincidentally, the most recent World Series was played between the Cubs and Indians, with Chicago defeating Cleveland in seven games after overcoming a 3-1 deficit. The two teams entered the World Series with the longest championship droughts in Major League Baseball: the Cubs had not won a championship since 1908, while the Indians last won the World Series in 1948.
Cleveland took the first game of the series with a score of 6-0 on the strength of an impressive pitching performance from Corey Kluber, who struck out nine batters and allowed only four hits in six innings. The Cubs evened the series at one game each with a 5-1 win in game 2, but the Indians won back-to-back games in Chicago to take a commanding 3-1 series lead.
The Cubs staved off elimination with a 3-2 win in game 5 and recorded a 9-3 win in game 6 to send the series to a seventh, deciding game. Chicago led 6-3 going into the bottom of the eighth, but the Indians scored three runs to tie the game and send it to extra innings. Ben Zobrist and Miguel Montero drove in a pair of runs in the top of the 10th, and the Cubs held on for a 8-7 win. Zobrist was named World Series MVP.
