About this ebook

The Chicago Cubs are NOT cursed!

A barnyard animal has nothing to do with the team’s continued futility. There are rational and logical reasons why the Cubs have the longest championship drought of any professional sports franchise. Beyond Bartman, Curses, & Goats will take you through 104 of them…to match the 104 years it has been since the last Cubs’ World Series title in 1908. For example:

• Many Cubs’ near misses such as the entire decade of the 1930s, 1945, 1969, 1984, and yes…2003. (sigh)
• Years and years of poor drafting…consistently missing out on Hall of Famers and All-Stars that could have been Cubs.
• The uncanny successes of Cubs’ players…after the Cubs traded them.
• Poor financial decisions that had catastrophic effects on long-term success.
• Historical blunders, such as having one of your young “ace” pitchers throw 141 pitches in a game…in April!

If you love the Cubs, you will enjoy this analytical look at 104 years of the team’s history…and you will gain a vast knowledge of why this team continues to fail.
