Happy Birthday to Billy Goat under Michigan Avenue!
For 52 years, Chicago’s favorite haunt hasn’t been on Michigan Avenue, it’s been under it!
On March 4th, 1964 Billy Goat Sianis moved his tavern to the current subterranean Michigan Avenue location. The original Billy Goat was located on Madison Street, across from the Chicago Stadium. Thanks to the large following of newspaper men who were regulars at the Billy Goat, it was only natural that the new location be situated between the Tribune and Sun-Times buildings.
Spring is in the air, so are baseballs.
Will this be the year, Cubs fans? Another Spring Training is here and the Curse of Murphy the Billy Goat is in its 70th year!
Remember last year that Kris Bryant started the year down on the farm with a goat? He went on to win Rookie of the Year.
Remember how hot the Cubs were heading into the playoffs, only to be eliminated by a guy named “Murphy”?
How much more proof do you need that the Curse of Murphy the Billy Goat is REAL!!!
