In the 1989 film Back to the Future Part II , a Major League Baseball team from Miami plays in the 2015 World Series, losing to the Chicago Cubs. Although the city of Miami has created a professional baseball team since 1989, the 2015 team was in the National League and thus, could not have played the Cubs in the World Series. The 2015 Chicago Cubs competed in the National League Championship Series.
