The Chicago Cubs haven't been to a World Series since 1945. Some say it's because of the "Billy Goat Curse." And, the only way to break the curse is to have a descendant of Andy Frain apologize to Murphy the Goat. The problem is Murphy has been dead for a very long time. However, in the spirit of fair play, Murphy "the goat," armed with the gift of speech, is sent to Earth to make amends in lifting the curse. In exchange for ending the curse, Murphy wants an apology for being thrown out of Wrigley Field during the 1945 Series. In need of Earthly assistance, Murphy is brought to the Billie Goat's Tavern in Chicago where he meets and eventually enlists the aid of a very reluctant and cantankerous individual named Roger Talbert. They eventually work out their differences and unite to end the curse in this delightful tale.

Major league baseball has a long and colorful history. Some teams seem almost blessed by the baseball gods. They win year after year, making the play-offs and competing regularly in the World Series. We all know these teams. They're the ones we love to hate. Other teams lose regularly and seldom make the play-offs. When they do have a winning season, something always seems to go wrong. Easy ground balls hit to Gold Glove fielders that would end an inning or kill a rally somehow manage to skip between the fielder's legs or bounce off their gloves. It almost seems like these teams are cursed. This story is about such a curse, the Billy Goat Curse. But this story is not about the curse as you may know it. One man, his family and a baseball team are intertwined in a tale of damnation.

"How can we possibly get a troll maiden to kiss one of us?" asked Edgar in despair. "It would be hard enough if we still wore the form of men, but in this shape it would be simple folly." Possessed by a curse that turned them into goats, three brothers set out to the land of Trolls. They are on a quest for a maiden's kiss, which will return them to their true forms. At the border, they cross a bridge and kill its guardian. Only after this unfortunate incident do they learn that trolls have families, too. How will any of the brothers get a kiss from a maiden when they are now in a blood feud with her kin? And the longer it takes, the more their human identities fade. Will the brothers be doomed to roam as goats forever?

In 1945 the most famous curse in sports was placed on the Chicago Cubs when Bill Sianis and his goat were ejected from Wrigley Field. Though Sianis purchased two tickets for the fourth game of the World Series against Detroit, the goat's stench led to the pair's ouster. The indignant Sianis allegedly cursed the Cubs, promising that they'd never again play in the World Series at Wrigley Field. More than six decades later, the team has yet to win a pennant. There were years when fortune seemed to pluck defeat from the wings of sure victory. The book focuses on the attitudes of players and fans, as well as attempts to exorcise the curse. It features photographs and interviews of former Cub players, as well as a foreword by Hall of Fame shortstop Ernie Banks.

This work was sparked by the Chicago Cubss 2016 world championship win. Joel M. Levin felt instant joy of victory after waiting seventy-one years to see it happen. This was quickly followed by a stirring of memories and emotions going back to 1945 when he saw his first ball game. He calls the memories, the treasures of his mind, and shares them with the reader. They include impressions of the world at large; details of his inner life; and the fortunes, fables, and foibles of his favorite baseball team. The story starts with a young boy whose family experiences early America with both depression and an oncoming war, but he is able to start on a lifetime journey as a loyal Chicago Cubs fan. In truth, the book is not a memoir, as few people are interested in the life of an ordinary man. It is more an examination of life as time moved on and how the author experienced it. It is not a pure or objective sports book nor is it analytical, critical, or historical. Once again, it is from the vantage point of a fan. It is called a trilogy, a combined tale of the world at large, the impact on the author, and the destiny of the Chicago Cubs on the long, winding path to becoming the best team in baseball. The work includes references to music of the time and is peppered with poetic expressions; humor; and a creative look at curses, superstitions, and symbolization. The story begins with a young fan who sits in the bleachers and, in time, graduates to a premier seat near the Cubss dugout. Every Cubs fan in Joel Levins age group has a unique story to tell. The best part is they reached the finish line together, seeing their lovable losers as the last team standing. There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle (Albert Einstein).
