4. Derek Jeter and Jeb Bush Bid on Miami Marlins

The year is 2017. You have been in cryostasis for 20 years, you know, for science and such. But before you took your ice nap, Jeb Bush was campaigning for Governor of Florida. Derek Jeter was in his third year in the majors. The Cubs still had not won a World Series and finished the 1997 season 64-98 and interleague play was in its inaugural year. Oh, and Donald Trump’s second marriage was ending.

Time’s have changed, friend. You might want to sit down. First, Donald Trump is the 45th President of the United States. Second, the Cubs won the World Series. Calm down, I know it sounds like Back to the Future II, but I assure you this is real life! Jeb Bush was Florida’s governor and lost the 2016 election to Trump. Derek Jeter retired from baseball in 2014 and everyone wept. Oh, and interleague play happens daily – it’s okay if you’re silently screaming.

Derek Jeter and Jeb Bush – yes that Derek Jeter and that Jeb Bush – reportedly have the winning bid for the Miami Marlins, states Scott Soshnick at Bloomberg News. The group led by Jeter and Bush placed a bid of $1.3 billion for the team.

This year could play out like the plot to a B-rate movie of a dystopian future.
