ok for the sports fans in the house...i RAREly take an interest in sports but this one caught my eye

the redhead and i were trying to figure out who we wanted to win the world series...because we liked the red sox and the cubs cuz they havne't won a WS in FOREVER. in our thought process...at the time, we thought the cubs were just on a regular old losing streak....and we thougth the curse of the bambino is a cool curse and wanted to keep it going. so we decided to go for the cubbies. THEN i found out about the billy goat curse from my friend who is from chicago. dork that i am, i did some research....

so i got the info on the cubbies. the curse of billy the goat....billy the goat is/was(?) this famous pub/bar in chicago...the owner of the pub wanted to bring his goat into the game(world series 1945)...he bought a ticket for himself and the goat...and they were denied entrance. so they escorted them out of the park and he cursed the cubs and wrigley field.

sooooo the strange thing i learned is...that the curse of the bambino....it TECHnically started in 1920 when the sox traded babe ruth to the yankees...but they haven't won a world series since 1918....if you do the math using 1918....the curse of the billy goat is on it's 58th year...while the curse of the bambino is in it's 85th year!! how crazy is that?!

yes i'm old AND i'm a dork! :D
