Series I certainly am and my whole
family was too we saved the whole night
watching the throwing into the season
the reason why the the reason why the
world series was so big is because the
copse haven’t won the world series since
nineteen oh eight that’s a hundred and
eight years and the last time they have
what have been to the world series was
nineteen forty-five many people believe
that the Cubs haven’t been to the world
series since 1945 is because of the
superstition of the billy-oh curse
here’s the story William scions a tavern
owner bought two tickets to the world
series of nineteen forty-five one for
him and one for his pet goat Murphy the
people in the stands said that Murphy to
go smelled very bad so Williams ions and
the and Murphy got kicked out of the
ballpark William signs and yelled you
aren’t going to win the World Series and
you aren’t going to go back to the World
Series again and that’s the story behind
it one night in Chicago a competitive
eater same gravy Brown decided away to
break the Billy Goat curse so he thought
of a way so he thought of eating a
40-pound go now I know what you’re
thinking this is crazy but Tim Gregor
brown is a Coast fan and every Cubs fan
want just once the curse would be broken
and that’s what he did it’s not just the
Cubs that have superstitions but also
athletes Michael Jordan a six-time NBA
championship winner and a Hall of Famer
always wears his unc basketball game
Schwartz underneath his NBA game shorts
Serena Williams Serena Williams one of
the greatest female tennis players of
all times bounces the ball five times
the first first serve and two times
first second serve and she even ties her
shoes a special way Ernie Ellis Ernie
Els always throws away a golf ball that
he scored a birdie with because he
thinks the good score is used up even
the great Jack Nicklaus has a
superstition he Jack Nicklaus won’t play
with a round of golf with exactly three
coins in his pocket Tiger Woods has his
superstitious act
I’ve always wearing red on the last day
of a tournament this superstition is
famous because because when Tiger Woods
is younger and he won one of his first
PGA tournaments he wore red and that’s
how the Super’s is superstition started
it’s not just athletes I have
superstitions but also symbols and
objects 13 why so lucky many people
believe that 13 is unlucky because in
the Code of Hammurabi the 13th law was
omitted and that’s how the and that’s
how 13 started as a superstition 13 even
has its own name try skydeck of phobia
try sky deco phobia is when people are
scared of the number 13 we aren’t even
going to get into Friday the 13th black
cats black cats have good luck and bad
luck superstitions here in America it is
bad luck of a black cat cross her path
but Japan and Britain it is good luck if
a black cat cross her path the Acorn
many people believe that the Acorn does
not have a have superstitions but it
does Thor the God of Thunder said that
if if you put a a corn on a window ledge
during a thunderstorm lightning will not
strike your house and we all know that’s
not true all these superstitions are
Post hoc ergo propter hoc this thing
means before this therefore because of
it this means just because you wore a
red shirt and one at a PGA tournament it
doesn’t mean the red shirt cause the
wind same goes with if you eat a
40-pound go and the Cubs win a World
Series eating the 40-pound goat doesn’t
cause the one but I’m sure glad they did
go cubbies and thank you [Applause]
