After six games led to a tie, the final game of the World Series between the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs dragged on with a rain delay on Wed. night. For the Cubs, victory came with a 8-7 win. The whole suspenseful series also played out most artfully between the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.

The museums' Twitter war over baseball provided some fanciful art-defacing -- from giant Cubs hats placed on the famous lions outside the Art Institute to Cleveland attire on Peale's iconic portrait of George Washington.
