Week 8 Bonus Question - ANSWER

The goat's name was Murphy, and he was own by William "Billy Goat" Syannis, owner of the "Billy Goat" bar near Wrigley Field. When the Cubs were in the World Series in 1945, Syannis brought Murphy along to Game Four, but were kicked out because Murphy didn't smell too good. Syannis put a curse on the Cubs that they would never again reach the World Series.

And they haven't.
