While it’s common knowledge in Chicago, I just learned about this. My sister is going to an event in Chicago for the weekend. I’ve recently had baby goats born and they are semi-famous on the internet due to both of us posting photos on a popular social media site. So yesterday I made the remark that she should take a baby goat with her so all of the internet friends she’s meeting with can see one in person. She looked at me like I was nuts and told me that a goat wouldn’t fare well in Wrigleyville (where the Cubs stadium is for those who aren’t aware).

This morning she sent me a link that explains the Cubs’ curse of the billy goat. Those baseball fans are a superstitious lot. However, after reading it and attempting to take it seriously for a minute or two, I believe I’ve come up with a way to break the infamous curse and restore respect for Midwestern goats as well as allow caprine sports fans a nice outing.

Wrigley Field needs to schedule a Bring Your Goat to Baseball Day. Goat herders for miles around can bring their goats to see a game, regain their rightful place in sports history and break the evil curse. Plus what goat doesn’t like a little popcorn? Good plan, huh? Someone get on that.
