2. And Their Loyal Fans

5. The Chicago Cubs have not won the World Series since 1908. The Cubs came five outs away from the World Series when a fan accidentally robbed Moises Alou of catching a foul ball. –The Florida Marlins went on to score many runs that inning and win the 2003 National League Championship and later the World Series. The “Curse of the Billy Goat” began in 1945 after a Cubs fan put a curse on the team. –He cursed the team because he was not allowed to bring his goat in to the stadium to watch Game 4 of the 1945 World Series. The Cubs have not been to the World Series since 1945. The Cubs have sent many players to the Hall of Fame, but none since 1908 have entered with a World Series ring. Return to Homework Page
