EXCLUSIVE
He won’t say he’s “rooting” for the Cubs — but ex-Cleveland Indians player Nick Swisher is clearly pulling for Chicago to win Tuesday night … claiming it’s simply better for baseball if the Cubbies win.
Swisher is from Ohio, played for the Indians from 2013 to 2015 and says he still has a bunch of close friends on the team … but when we saw Nick at LAX Tuesday morning, he explained why he’s not Team Cleveland.
The bad news for Chicago — Nick says he’s been talking to some of the Cleveland players and they’re feeling pretty great.
Game 6 is tonight at 5 PM PT.
