THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
William Sianis, owner of the Chicago’s, Billy Goat Tavern, appeared at Wrigley Field for the fourth game of the 1945 World Series, between the Cubs and the Detroit Tigers, accompanied by his pet goat. Sianis displayed two box-seat, tickets and asked that he and the goat be seated. They were, but after the game began, they were ejected, reportedly at the insistence of the Cubs owner, P. K. Wrigley, who said the animal smelled bad. Sianis left, but said he hoped the Cubs never played the World Series at the ballpark. In 2016, the curse was obliterated.
