LeBron James is an Akron guy born and raised, who is caught up in Indians fever like the rest of Northeast Ohio.
Dwyane Wade is Chicago born and raised, a Cubs fan who wants to see the team end its 108-year drought.
So the two have made a World Series bet — loser has to show up at the winner’s arena in the World Series champ’s gear.

After Game 1 — on the night he was collecting his latest ring — LeBron has to feel pretty good.
Either way, the payoff should be good.
