It has also been said by many that Sianis put a " curse " on the Cubs, apparently preventing the team from playing in the World Series.

Sianis, according to believers of the curse, was enraged that such action was taken against him and his goat, and he then cursed the team.

Supposedly, Sianis placed a curse on the team that they would not win another pennant or play in a World Series again.

The curse of the Billy Goat was supposedly placed on the Chicago Cubs in 1945 when Billy Goat Tavern owner Billy Sianis was asked to leave a World Series game against the Detroit Tigers at the Cubs ' home ground of Wrigley Field because his pet goat's odor was bothering other fans.

William Sianis ( c. 1895-October 22, 1970 ), better known as Billy Sianis (), was a Chicago, Illinois tavern owner, who went on to become part of baseball lore because of the famed Curse of the Billy Goat he supposedly put on the Chicago Cubs after he and his goat were tossed out of game four of the 1945 World Series.

The curse was subsequently " lifted " in public on several occasions, first by Sianis himself in 1969, and several times thereafter by his nephew Sam Sianis, the current owner of the Billy Goat Tavern.

Despite paid-for box seat tickets, Cubs owner Philip K. Wrigley allegedly ejected Sianis and goat due to the latter's odor.

Wrigley ejected Billy Sianis, who had come to Game 4 with two box seat tickets, one for him and one for his goat.

Upon his ejection, Mr. Sianis uttered, " The Cubs, they ain't gonna win no more.

In the following two decades after Sianis ' ill will, the Cubs played mostly forgettable baseball, finishing among the worst teams in the National League on an almost annual basis.

Many fans associated the Bartman incident with the Curse of the Billy Goat, allegedly laid on the Cubs during the 1945 World Series after Billy Sianis and his pet goat were ejected from Wrigley Field.

Some state that Sianis declared that no World Series games would ever again be played at Wrigley Field, while others believe that his ban was on the Cubs appearing in the World Series, making no mention of a specific venue.

" The Cubs won the division that year and then came within five outs of playing in the World Series but were undone by the Florida Marlins ' eight-run rally immediately following the Steve Bartman incident, which occurred the same day that Wrigley Field denied entry to a goat accompanying Sam Sianis.

According to three interviews with Sam Sianis, William Sianis ' nephew-in-law, the Curse of the Billy Goat can be dispelled only by the Chicago Cubs organization's showing a sincere fondness for goats ; allowing them into Wrigley Field because they genuinely want to and not simply for publicity reasons.

( According to an account in the Chicago Sun of October 7, 1945, the goat was turned away at the gate, and Sianis left the goat tied to a stake in a parking lot and went into the game alone.

In early 1934, two months after the repeal of Prohibition, Sianis purchased the Lincoln Tavern, a bar across the street from Chicago Stadium.

Sianis used his goat to draw attention to his bar ; he began wearing a goatee, nicknamed himself " Billy Goat ", and began to sneak the goat into unusual locations for publicity stunts.

Sianis was a long-time Cubs fan.

Sianis and his goat watched the game from their seats until the fourth inning.

It was then that security personnel told Sianis that he and his goat had to leave, due to complaints about the goat's objectionable odor.

Some state that Sianis declared that no World Series games would ever again be played at Wrigley Field, while others believe that his ban was on the Cubs appearing in the World Series, making no mention of a specific venue.

* 1945 – Baseball: Billy Sianis and his pet billy goat are ejected from Wrigley Field during Game 4 of the 1945 World Series ( see Curse of the Billy Goat ).

Sam Sianis, nephew of Billy Sianis, has been brought out onto Wrigley Field with a goat multiple times in attempts to break the curse: on Opening Day in 1984 and 1989 ( in both years, the Cubs went on to win their division ), in 1994 to stop a home losing streak, and in 1998 for the wild card play-in game ( which the Cubs won ).
