The Cubs took two of the three games played in Detroit as they returned to Chicago. The Tigers then took two games in a row. The Cubs won the sixth game in extra innings.
But, in the first inning of the final game, the Tigers exploded for five runs and went on to win the game 9-3, making them the 1945 World Series Champions.
The Cubs were left with regrets for what might have been -- and memories of having almost made it to baseball's mountaintop.
But, considering how good the team was and past National League Championships, surely, there was next year and likely another shot at the championship.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
