Cubs Fan Hang Dead Goat To Ward Away Curse Posted: 11 months ago by suebe
In a repeat of a similar incident two years ago, a dead goat was found at Wrigley field. Presumably the goat was a reference to the Billy Goat curse, put on the Cubs in 1945 by Billy Goat tavern owner William Sianis after the team refused to allow his pet goat, Murphy, inside Wrigley Field for Game 4 of the World Series. The Cubs haven't won a World Series since 1908.
