Billy Sianis and his goat.

On 6 October 1945, baseball was cursed. Not all of baseball; just one team in particular.

On this day in 1945, the Chicago Cubs were playing in the World Series against the Detroit Tigers. Owner of the Billy Goat Tavern, Billy Sianis, was attending the game. It was game 4 of the World Series and Chicago had a 2-1 series lead over the Tigers. Billy was watching the game in peace—with his goat. The people around him began complaining about the odor the goat. There were so many complaints that Billy was asked to leave the game. In anger, Billy yelled out has he was leaving, “Them Cubs, they ain’t gonna win no more.”

After he stated this, the Cubs lost the World Series to the Tigers 4-3 in 7 games. Now this is referred to as “Curse of Billy the Goat.” This curse has followed the Cubs since the day Billy started it. The Cubs have not made it to the World Series since the curse was put on them in 1945. They have not won a World Series since 1908.
