The Curse of the Goat

• Chicago bar owner and die-hard Cubs fan, Vasili
  Billy Goat Sianis had two tickets for game 4 of
  the 1945 World Series
• Decided to use second ticked to take his pet goat
  to the game
• Ushers at Wrigley Field would not allow the
  goats entrance

• On his way out of Wrigley Field, Sianis placed
  curse on Cubs that they would never win another
  pennant nor would the World Series be played at
  Wrigley Field again
• Cubs lost game 4 and eventually the 1945 World
  Series
• Cubs have not won a World Series since
• Many attemps have been made to break the curse,
  but none have worked
