Craig Sager, lifelong Cubs fan and Batavia, Ill. native, has bet on the Cubs to win the World Series for the last 35 years.

This year, we think he might be cashing out.

Sager’s son posted an excerpt from his father’s upcoming book, Living Out Loud, revealing the annual hedge on the current world champions (still weird to hear it, right?)

Sager, 65, continues to fight leukemia. He caught the epic Game 7 on Wednesday.

Stay strong, Craig, and Go Cubs.
