The Cubs Win IT! Is this is the year the Chicago Cubs return to the World Series. Now, I have had a lot of strange things take place in my life, but in writing my book “Murphy: Billy Goat Curse,” when I choose the New York Mets to face the Chicago Cubs in the National League Championship Series I never actually thought it was possible fate would bring it about.
In my book, “Murphy: Billy Goat Curse,” I took a fantasy approach in ending the Cubs woes in telling how they would finally return to the World Series. The fantasy element is how the curse will end.
For you baseball fans I know many of you have heard of the Billy Goat Curse. For you new to the game, or non-Cubs fans the Billy Goat Curse came about during the fourth game of the 1945 World Series when a well-known Chicago tavern owner, Billy Sianis brought of all things his pet goat to the game. He and his goat, Murphy were eventually escorted from Wrigley. In exiting, history states Billy evoked the curse in saying “The Cubs are not going to win no more.” Which in translated means the Chicago Cubs would never return to the World Series. So, far the Cubs have never returned.
As for the Chicago Cubs, they have gotten as far as the Championship series and no further. Is this the year the Cubs return to the World Series? Maybe it will happen if the tale written in my novel plays out in real life.
