Nov 6, 2014 | Billy Goat Curse

Dear Joe,
On behalf of Billy Goat Tavern, welcome to Chicago!
Let me be the first goat in town to congratulate you on being named the new manager of the Chicago Cubs. I have every confidence you’ll be able to take our beloved Cubbies back to the World Series–a goal that has eluded 37 of your predecessors since 1945. That’s 69 years, Joe. That’s baaaaaaad no matter how you look at it.
Now, you’ve probably heard of the Billy Goat Curse. I want to assure you Joe, this was not my idea. Cross my horns and hope to die. But maybe we can do something about it.
I understand you have a history of allowing animals in the clubhouse. This is of particular interest to me because I’m an animal and the Cubs have a history of not letting me in their clubhouse. Which was the real reason for the Billy Goat Curse back in ’45.
Of course, there’s an easy way to lift the Curse. All you have to do is allow me free access to the Cubs’ clubhouse. Anytime I want. I’m sure you’ll agree this is a small price to pay for ending nearly seven decades of futility.
In the meantime, please feel free to stop by any one of our nine Billy Goat locations for a delicious cheezborger and a cold beer. On the house.
Sincerely,
B. Goat
