Why we need a Chicago tavern Owner’s Hall of Fame.
Chicago’s #1 tavern owner. Bar none.
The 1994 Cubs, Ernie Banks and Billy Goat
The 1994 season begins badly. The Cubs lose 12 home games in a row, the worst start in team history. In an effort to end the streak, Same takes his goat to Wrigley Field only to be denied entrance. Amidst the chant of “Let the Goat in!” from the crowd, Hall-of-Famer Ernie Banks escorts Sam and his goat into Wrigley. The Cubs win the game 5-2 but finish the 49-64 in fifth place in the strike-shortened season.
