In a repeat of a similar incident two years ago, a dead goat was found at Wrigley field. Presumably the goat was a reference to the Billy Goat curse, put on the Cubs in 1945 by Billy Goat tavern owner William Sianis after the team refused to allow his pet goat, Murphy, inside Wrigley Field for Game 4 of the World Series.
