Oh yeah George, where does he get off putting a curse on his former  
employer, I know he's Greek but he is no Sam Sianis, maybe it is because Philip  
Knight reneged on a $10 million pledge to the Duck stadium fund, and he hates  rich 
donors, AKA Pat Ryan
     
Da Curse of the Billy Goat Timeline  
October  6, 1945 - The  Beginning of Da Curse of the Billy Goat.  William 
"Billy Goat"  Sianis and his pet goat Murphy were allowed into Wrigley Field for 
the  fourth game of the 1945 World Series between the Chicago Cubs and Detroit 
 Tigers.  Sianis and the goat made it onto the playing field before  ushers 
intervened and led them to the grandstand aisle.  Billy Goat  Sianis maintained 
that he had two $7.20 box seat tickets and that there  was no disclaimer 
preventing him for using a ticket for his goat.   After a short argument, Sianis 
and the goat were allowed to occupy the  seats for which he had tickets.  
Nevertheless, they were later  ejected at the command of Cubs' owner Philip Knight 
Wrigley due to the  animal's objectionable odor.  Sianis was furious over the 
ejection  and placed a curse on the Cubs that they would never win a National 
League  pennant or play in a World Series game at Wrigley Field.  The Cubs  
lost game four and eventually the World Series.  Sianis sent Wrigley  a telegram 
that read, "Who Smells  Now!"
