On this date in 1944, the Republican Convention began at the Chicago Stadium. Billy "Goat" Sianis put up his famous "No Republican's Allowed" sign, causing his bar to be filled with Republicans demanding to be served and leading to Billy's most profitable day ever #ChicagoHistory

Fittingly, Mike's last column, which runs March 21, 1997 is about the curse. He writes, "It's about time that we stopped blaming the failings of the Cubs on a poor, dumb creature that is a billy goat."
