Curses in Baseball

The infamous Black Sox scandal of 1919 cast a long shadow over the Chicago White Sox, leading to an 88-year drought without a World Series title. Meanwhile, the Cubs faced their own legendary curse after a goat's owner sent a fateful telegram in 1945, predicting their perpetual misfortune. Despite numerous heart-wrenching moments, the Cubs finally broke their 108-year curse in 2016, proving that even the longest droughts can end.
