I once shocked my friends by saying if the Yankees were playing the Cubs in the World Series, I'd cheer for the Yankees. Thankfully, since last October, that won't be necessary any more.
BTW - you're not cursed because they wouldn't let the guy bring his goat. You're cursed because you once had a fan who wanted to bring a goat.
But, then again, despite my age, I'm one of the new breed of Boston fans who now views baseball season as a nice way to kill time between football seasons.
