Chicago Cubs Curse
If you are a fan of the Chicago Cubs, than you have absolutely heard of the "Cubs Curse". The Chicago Cubs haven't been to the World Series in over 60 years. Many people think the legendary goat has something to do about this. According to a Chicago legend, a Chicago bar-keeper and die-hard Chicago Cub fan placed a curse on the team after his goat was not allowed into the stadium (Wrigley Field) for game 4 of the 1945 World Series. The goat had a ticket and everything, but the ushers at Wrigley field blocked it's entry. So both the owner and the goat left the stadium dissapointed. Then came the curse. On the way out of Wrigley, the goat's owner yelled that a World Series would never again be played in Wrigley Field. The Chicago Cubs lost that game and the Detroit Tigers won the series. Well, sadly enough the Cubs have not played in a World Series since that time, and have not won one since 1908.
Many Chicago Cub fans feel that the Cubs Curse can be broken. They even allowed a goat into the park on opening day in 1984. The Cubs won the division that year, but lost to the San Diego Padres before getting to the World Series. The goat showed up again in 1994 because the Cubs lost their first 12 home games. The team won that next game, but then the season was ended early due to the strike. The goat appeared to break the curse again in 1998. The Cubs made the playoffs, but the Cubs Curse lived on as they lost to the Braves in the playoffs. Fans even went as far as to try and pass the Cubs Curse onto other teams in 2003. We all know what happened this year. Steve Bartman kept the curse alive by grabbing the fly ball from Moises Alou and leading the Cubs to a loss.
The Cubs Curse is obviously still alive. What will be the next sign of the dreaded Chicago Cubs Curse?
