It is over. The Billy Goat Curse, the Lovable Losers—it’s all over. It’s funny how quickly these curses have become a relic of baseball. The Red Sox ended the Curse of the Bambino in 2004, the White Sox ended their 88-year drought in 2005, and the Chicago Cubs finally ended their 108-year drought two nights ago in, honestly, one of the best games I have ever seen.
What made it so great? This was one of the most highly anticipated games of the past quarter-century. The Cubs obviously had their curse on the line, and the Indians had a drought of their own—68 seasons—that they could have ended with a win.
