We heard about it so many times that we are probably tired of talking about it. The Chicago Cubs came into the Fall Classic having not won it all since 1908. And in 1945, the last time they were in the World Series, a man was not allowed to bring a goat into Wrigley Field. He was so angry that he put a curse on the Cubs, saying they would not win another World Series, ever.
And, we can point to times throughout the Cubs’ history that appear to follow the curse. The ball going through Leo Durham’s legs in the 1984 NLCS.
