October 6, 1945-The Goat Curse Begins

[Benchwarmer]

Today is the day it all started.

 

In an effort to promote his nearby Billy Goat Tavern, William Sianis buys tickets to Game 4 of the Fall Classic for himself and Murphy, his pet goat. The bar owner becomes so upset when the Wrigley Field ushers asks his guest to leave, the Greek immigrant places a curse on the team preventing the Cubs from ever winning a World Series again.

 

Didn't see any goats today at Wrigleyville Sports. Someone go by Murphy's just in case.

I actually cursed the Cubs earlier this year. It was just as significant.

cool beans.

[Magnetic Curses]

i actually believe the curse was that they would never be in another world series as long as they played in wrigley field.

Damn, you are hardcore meatballin'. Nice dedication.

I heard there was a curse of Dave Kaplan that won't expire until he does.

What about the 6 WS we lost before Sianis' goat? Merkel's curse?

[TruffleShuffle]

thanks, i was really hoping that someone would make a thread about the 66th anniversary of something that doesn't matter at all.
