Billy “Ghost” Sianis
The Chicago Cubs clinched their first NL Pennant in 71 years on October 22, the anniversary of Billy “Goat” Sianis’ death. We know he was there with his pet goat Murphy cheering on his favorite team.
“Let the Goat in!” – 1994
The Cubs started the 1994 season horribly, losing twelve home games in a row. Their worst home start in history. In an effort to end this streak, Sam Sianis and his goat went to Wrigley Field only to be denied entrance yet again. Amidst the chant of “Let the Goat in!” amongst the Wrigley crowd, Hall of Famer, Ernie Banks helped by escorting Sam and his goat into Wrigley. The Cubs won the game 5-2, ending their worst home start ever. A lesson learned?
Will this be the year the Curse is broken? We hope so, but the goat has still not seen his game.
Watch Cubs/Dodgers NLCS at Billy Goat!
Watch the Cubs play the Dodgers in the NLCS at any of our locations: www.billygoattavern.com/locations/ The Cubs never sent us an invitation, so we’ll be there too. You may even meet Murphy the Billy Goat. You can try to get him to lift the Curse, but he’s very stubborn.
BUTT IN ANYTIME!
Congratulations Cubs on Winning the NLDS!
Congratulations Chicago Cubs on winning an exciting NLDS. We can’t wait to see what happens in the next series! Remember, the Curse is real and the goat is good luck. He can help with your playoff push!
Thanks for coming to our Reverse the Curse Party!
