On October 6, 1945, To promote his nearby Billy Goat Tavern, William Sianis buys tickets to Game 4 of the Fall Classic for himself and Murphy, his pet goat. The pair is told to leave before the game ends and is escorted out of Wrigley Field, angering the owner. The bar owner a greek immigrant places a curse on the team, preventing the Cubs from ever winning a World Series again. The Chicago Cubs lose to the Detroit Tigers, 4 – 1. Detroit will go on to win the Series in seven games and the Cubs won’t win another National League championship for the rest of the 20th century. The Cubs will finally break the curse in 2016.
