The Cubs embraced the Curse of the Billy Goat all season en route to their first World Series win since 1908. With the curse lifted the Cubs' front office put to bed the superstition once and for all by eating a goat in the bleachers of Wrigley Field.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the Cubs' front office had a goat roasted especially for them to celebrate the championship.
“We were on the phone with Jed (Hoyer, Cubs executive VP and general manager). He was recapping the game, and in the background, Theo (Epstein, Cubs President of Baseball Operations) says he wanted roasted goat for lunch," restaurateur Kevin Boehm said.
