The Chicago Cubs are one win away from their first World Series in 108 years. Before 2016, the Cubs hadn't even been to a Fall Classic since 1945.

So when they face the Cleveland Indians in Game 7 on Wednesday night, you can bet Cubs fans everywhere will be watching Chicago try and end its historic championship drought.

But for those who have a prior engagement, don't fret.

The Cubs wrote this super not legitimate note to be excused from any plans, appointments, etc. All you have to do is fill in the blanks!

Wednesday night marks something Major League Baseball hasn't seen for, well, 71 years — the Cubs in a Game 7. And let's not forget: The Indians are also looking to end a 68-year championship drought.

Winner-take-all games already carry an elevated significance.

But this Game 7 is on a completely different level. History is at stake. If it feels like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, that's exactly what it is. Some Cubs fans have lived full lives without seeing Chicago win a World Series.

Schedules will be shifted. Plans will be canceled. And yes, official questionable excuse notes will be written.

Game 7 doesn't happen every year. Especially not like this.
