Bill Sianis joined the crew at WGN Radio 720. He talked all things Billy Goat. From the breaking of The Curse and the G.O.A.T to the launch of the newest Billy Goat Burgers available at Jewel-Osco. And of course he brought some samples and some beers to share with the crew! Did you hear his live interview?
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.

From the day the first goat stumbled into the Tavern, the Billy Goat Inn became a circus of animals. There were numerous goats, from beer drinking to dollar bill eating, but mostly beer drinking. An avid animal lover, Billy offered the tavern as their home. A long line of Goats from Billy “the original” to Murphy “The goat curse” have always been a regular staple at the legendary Tavern.
