The Chicago Cubs are known for being one of the most popular baseball franchises, with an extremely loyal fan base, and for playing their home games at Wrigley Field. They have won three World Series titles, in 1907, 1908, and 2016. The team is also known for the so-called Curse of the Billy Goat, which is said to have prevented the team from returning to the World Series for many decades after their 1945 appearance.
