Chicago Cubs :)

As you probably know, considering I have written about it a lot, I am proudly from Chicago! This makes me, of course, a Cubs fan :) I'm not sure what made me think of it (perhaps the world series being ummm around this time) but I wanted to share with you what many believe to be the "curse of the billy goat". Basically, it possibly explains why the Cubs haven't made it to the World Series since 1945, no matter how close we may seem to be getting! So, the story says that way back in 1945 a man named Billy Sianis had tickets for the Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers game. This wasn't just any game, though. It was game four of the world series! For whatever reason, Billy decided to bring his goat with him. Being friendly, Wrigley Field let them in. However, he and the goat went onto the field and began to walk around. Ummm...this is not really allowed. So, he and his goat were ejected from the field and had to leave! Upon leaving, he put a curse on the Cubs saying they would never make it to another world series because they kicked them out! (p.s. they ended up losing that game) Year after year, loyal fans go to the games, sit in front of their TV's sporting red, white, and blue just hoping that this might be the year. The year that the curse is broken! So far, no dice. But hey, I still love 'em!
