Part 2/8:
The legend of the "Curse of the Billy Goat" dates back to 1945 when a local tavern owner, Billy Sianis, was denied entry to a Cubs game because he was accompanied by his pet goat. Following this incident, Sianis reportedly proclaimed that the Cubs would never win another championship. For the next 40 years, the Cubs struggled to find success, and as the years rolled on, statistical analyses suggested that the Cubs were one of the unluckiest teams in baseball history.
