#FlyTheW

For the first time in 71 years the Cubs are playing the Indians in the World Series. For those of you who haven't heard, both teams have supposed curses placed on them not to win the World Series.

For the Cubs it is the curse of the Billy Goat. This curse was placed during the 1945 World Series when a man was asked to leave Wrigley Field because of the odor of his pet goat, Murphy. He then stated that the Cubs were no longer going to win. This curse has held true and the Cubs have not won a World Series since 1908.

The Indians have the curse of Rocky Colavito. This curse is said to have been placed when the Indians traded their right fielder Rocky Colavito for Harvey Kuenn in 1960. Colavito said he did not place the curse, but they have not won the World Series since the Indians made this controversial trade.

One of these teams has to break the curse so why cant it be the Cubs? Currently the series is tied 1-1 and the next game is Friday. Tune in and support the Chicago Cubs! #FlyTheW
