HOLY SHITE! "Back To The Future (Movie)" Predicted THIS World Series?

Local reporter here in Boston just stated the following:

in Back To The Future (1986 i believe), Michael J Fox goes "Back" to the year 2003 where the BOSTON RED SOX had just WON the world series AGAINST A TEAM FROM FLORIDA!

think THAT is weird?

THERE WAS NO MLB TEAM IN FLORIDA WHEN THE MOVIE WAS MADE!

thoughts?

In the second movie he goes forward to 2015, and the Cubs beat "Miami" in the World Series.

On edit: The first movie is set only in 1985 and 1955. 2003 is never featured in any of the 3 movies, just 2015.

That local reporter is a sloppy journalist, which is all too common these days.

5. It was the year 2015, not 2003

Debunked by Snopes.

10. Amazing that the local reporter not only claimed a hoax was reality,

but he/she also got the hoax itself wrong!

Geez, you'd think that they'd do a little research before putting this stuff on TV.
