The Cubs were one of the winningest teams in baseball during the first half of the 20th century. In 1945, they made it to the World Series. On October 6, local Chicago tavern owner and avid Cubs fan William “Billy Goat” Sianis tried to take his pet goat to Game 4, ostensibly to bring the team good luck.

That doesn’t lead to good preservation.
