Cubs-Indians World Series matchup makes things awkward for Jason Kipnis' family, friends

Share

When the Cubs defeated the Dodgers to advance to the World Series it put Indians infielder Jason Kipnis, his family and friends all in a very strange situation. The Northbrook, Ill. native and lifelong Cubs fan suddenly faced an inner struggle of how to react.

"The 10-year-old boy in me is saying, 'Why does it have to be the Cubs?'", Kipnis told Cleveland.com on Sunday.

"I even teared up because I didn't know how to handle it," Kipnis said. "I didn't know what to think."

Many of Kipnis' friends are Cubs season-ticket holders and his three siblings also have allegiance to the Cubbies. Torn between choosing her littler brother or her favorite team, Kipnis' older sister Amanda attempted to explain herself on Facebook.

Sooo, I'm going to a Cubbies World Series at Wrigley Freaking Field, and my little brother is playing for the other...

The Cubs start out the series in Cleveland, but when Kipnis and the Indians head to Wrigley Field as the series shifts to Chicago, you know things are only going to get even more complicated for his family members and closest friends.
