Summary
Chicago Cubs won the 2016 World Series. The last victory of World Series is 1908. It is 108 years ago. The Cubs is a bogey team and have the curse which was called “Billy Goat”. In 1945, Billy liked the Cubs and went to the play field with goat, but Billy’s goat was allowed in the field in the World Series game. So, Billy was angry and said “Them Cubs, they ain’t gonna win no more!” The Cubs haven’t won the World Series since this incident. This is “Billy Goat”. At present, the Cleveland Indians is the team with the longest dry spell between championships. The team last won the World Series in 1948.
Opinion
I don’t know much about Chicago Cubs, but I think that a bogey team’s victory is great. The team’s fans get into swing for the victory. It excites much audience for a bogey team to win against a strong team. There are bogey teams in Japan. I know Rakuten and Hiroshima Carp as bogey teams. Both teams are baseball teams. Rakuten have ever won only one time in Japan series. However the victory encouraged many people. Especially, people in Tohoku area were encouraged because Rakuten’s home is Sendai in Tohoku area. Hiroshima Carp is a poor team. It has many core fans in Hiroshima. So, Carp advanced to Japan series this year.
