The Billy Goat Curse: Losing and Superstition in Cubs Baseball Since World War II
Gil Bogen
In 1945 the most famous curse in sports was placed on the Chicago Cubs when Bill Sianis and his goat were ejected from Wrigley Field. Though Sianis purchased two tickets for the fourth game of the World Series against Detroit, the goat's stench led to the pair's ouster. This book focuses on the attitudes of players and fans.
