The last time the Cubs won the World Series

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were still alive and well.
Henry Ford had just introduced the Model T the month before.
Shackleton still hadn't found the South Pole.
And the first baseball radio broadcast was still 13 years in the future.

You don't think the goat thing is true, do you?

I'm not much for curses and the like. Maybe blame ownership?

It's the curse of top management, at least 85% to blame.

Thank goodness it's traced back to top management. I thought it was because I make the mistake of avidly watching crucial games. But hey, the Blackhawks won a Stanley Cup, so miracles do happen. This is the year. Cubbies are in first place right now, after all.

There are baseball team sub-reddits. The whole baseball forum is pretty easy going. People only get upset when the names McCarver or Costas are mentioned. *throws salt over shoulder*
