If you were a Cubs fan from the Middle Ages through 2015, there’s a decent chance you believe in curses. Your team couldn’t win a World Series of any sort –baseball, jousting, it didn’t matter. The curse was attributed to a vengeful bar owner who was asked to leave a 1945 World Series game at Wrigley Field because his pet goat was bothering other fans. Only in Chicago. And Hogwarts.
Then the inexplicable happened, with Joe Maddon’s boys winning the crown in 2016 and everything you thought you knew about the futility of life falling by the wayside.
