Does anyone want to discuss the possibility that the Chicago Cubs curse stems from the Merkle incident as much as it does from the Billy Goat curse of 1945? That the Cubs used trickery to steal the 1908 pennant away from the Giants, embarassing young Merkle in the process, and this is why they haven't won a World Series since that year? The curse of the Billy Goat, yes, but what about the Curse of Merkle?
