The Goat’s Ticket

Jan 8, 2014 | Billy Goat Curse, Cheezborger, Michigan Avenue

Visitors to the Billy Goat Tavern on Michigan Avenue soak up Chicago history with every juicy bite of Cheezborger. But, there’s one priceless piece of memorabilia that is often overlooked. Check out the Goat’s Ticket from the 1945 World Series!

There are few things that have meant more to Chicagoans than that sad day when the goat was not let in to see his game.

68 Years and The Goat Still Hasn’t Seen His Game.

Oct 8, 2013 | Billy Goat Curse

That’s right, Cubs fans. It’s been 68 years since Billy Goat Sianis said the Cubs wouldn’t win the World Series again. Can you believe the goat still hasn’t seen a game?

In fact, the last time the Cubs won the World Series was 1908. Their Opening Day pitcher’s name was Orval Overall, who went on to win MVP: “Most Vicious Parents”.

New Wrigley Renovations

May 10, 2013 | Billy Goat Curse

AS we’ve said many times before, if the Cubs want to reverse the Billy Goat Curse, they must truly embrace the goat. So, now that they are planning new renovations to Wrigley Field, we have a few suggestions:

  • The visitors bull pen should be renamed “The Goat Pen” and contain real goats
  • Goats should be used to keep the outfield grass trimmed just right
  • Billy Goat Tavern should have a restaurant in the park so fans can watch the game and enjoy a juicy Cheezborger
  • The Goat should have a permanent seat at every game – especially during the playoffs

It’s time that the goat was finally let in!

We want to hear your suggestions too. Be sure to leave them in the comments below!
