We all know the real reason the Cubs haven’t won a World Series since 1908 (or even gotten to one since 1945) is that Billy Sianis and his goat Murphy were kicked out of Game 4 of the 1945 World Series at Wrigley.
Giants fans, no stranger to supernatural forces, decided to invoke the Curse of the Billy Goat on Tuesday night in hopes of forcing a Game 5 in Chicago on Thursday.
Before the game, Rodnel Magat brought his goat Spock to AT&T Park. Spock’s usual job is landscaping, but he was playing the role of talisman that night.
