Chicago Cubs

A MLB team that has not won a World Series since 1908. Their last appearance was in 1945 against the Detroit Tigers. Billy Goat Tavern owner, Billy Slanis famously brought his billy goat to Game 4 of this series, and was asked to leave because the pet goat's foul odor was bothering fans. He said, "Them Cubs, they ain't gonna win no more". The Cubs went on to lose that series and have never since appeared in another World Series, a phenomenon known as "the Curse of the Billy Goat". Consequently it was foretold in a 1989 movie, Back to the Future II, that the Cubs would end their 107 year championship drought, the longest ever in professional sports history, in 2015. Marty McFly, played by actor Michael J. Fox, travels in time in a DeLorean from 1985 to 2015 to find out that the Chicago Cubs have won the World Series for the first time since 1908. As of writing this definition, the 2015 Chicago Cubs have since defeated the Pirates in the NL Wild Card, and the St. Louis Cardinals in the NLDS (making this the first time they have ever clinched a playoff series at Wrigley Field). They will begin the NLCS against the New York Mets tomorrow at 8:07, giving the 2015 Chicago Cubs a chance at fulfilling this bizarre and eerie prophecy. It should be noted that the Mets are 0-7 against the Cubs this regular season.
