Brief introduction to MLB(Major League baseball): Division and Team Introduction (Ⅱ)

Recently, many people are discussing about Chicago Cubs, no matter their fans or an outsider just because they have entered the postseason. So, I will present NL Central, which comprised of Chicago Cubs (CHC), St. Louis Cardinals (STL), Pittsburgh Pirates (PIT), Milwaukee Brewers (MIL), and Cincinnati Reds (CIN).

The movie, Back to The Future 2, predicted that Cubs will win the WS Champion of 2015.

(Unfortunately, Cubs was eliminated in NLCS by Mets)

1.Chicago Cubs(CHC).

Established in 1876, Cubs owns a historical stadium, Wrigley Field, widely known as its outfield fence with prosperous growing ivy.

#2. Wrigley Field.

Another renowned feat of CHC is the prominent “Curse of the Billy Goat”, which was “spelled” in 1945.

To sum the incidence briefly, that was a bar owner (Billy Sianis) always bring his goat, Murphy, to the game. Nevertheless, in the game 4 of WS in 1945, it suddenly rained. Then Murphy’s long hair started to emit some odor. Before long, Billy and Murphy was expelled by the owner of Cub’s owner and insulted Murphy. After the incident, Billy Sianis stated to the owner in a rage which says, “You are going to lose this World Series and you are never going to win another World Series again. You are never going to win a World Series again because you insulted my goat.”

(Reference: Wikipedia- Curse of the Billy Curse).

Mysteriously, since 1945, Cubs have never entered WS again……

(Note): The coincidence of NLCS is that the hero in Mets is also named Daniel Murphy.

Maybe we can never explain the curse.

The most popular player in CHC now is Kris Bryant (nicknamed as LAODA by PTTer in Taiwan because of his similarity in name to a famous NBA player Kobe Bryant).
