Baseball: Billy Goat curse ends as Cubs win World Series
BACK to the Future 2 was one year out as the Chicago Cubs lifted the World Series on Wednesday night, ending their 108-year curse with victory over the Cleveland Indians.
The infamous movie sequel predicted the Cubs would lift baseball’s major trophy in 2015, as a joke, due to the Billy Goat curse which was placed on the team in 1945 — local bar owner Billy Sianis was alleged to have cursed the Cubs after he and his goat were asked to leave a bar filled with Chicago fans.
Sianis was so insulted that he said they would never win a World Series game again or even reach the World Series again (different versions of the story exist).
