Today marks 103 days since the last MLB, NBA, NFL or NHL game — the longest such drought since the fall of 1918, when the World Series was held in September amid WWI and the Spanish flu.

The big picture: Of course, there was no NFL or NBA back then, and the NHL had only been around for a year, so there wasn’t nearly as much to miss. Television hadn’t been invented, either, so unless your ancestors lived down the street from Ebbets Field, they probably didn’t miss the Dodgers games.

Driving the news: Following a rough weekend, the comeback might have to keep waiting.
