    Billy Goa Curse Research Paper

    Even though I am not a Chicago Cubs fan, I still feel bad for all of those winless years during the timeframe of the Billy Goat Curse. This whole curse probably would have never of happened if the guy named William “Billy Goat” Sianis never said that the Chicago Cubs were never going to win another World Series.

    Clayton Kershaw's Obituary

    In my opinion, I would consider them one of the favorites for winning the World Series and a big reason for that is because of Strasburg’s pitching. Fortunately, Strasburg is on a team that has helped him out graciously with runs. Other aces have thrown great games and lost because of no offensive support, but with a team filled with offensives stars, that doesn’t seem to happen anytime…
