Got his Scapegoat

Hank Borowy, who lost the last World Series game the Chicago Cubs have played in the last 59 years, has died at the age of 88. Just two years after helping the Yankees win the 1943 World Series, Borowy was traded to the Cubs in midseason, and became the first pitcher to win 10 or more games for two different teams in the same season. He also was the last man to record 4 decisions in a single World Series, with a shutout in game 1, a loss in Game 5 and a win in relief in Game 6 before getting knocked out in the first inning of Game 7 at Wrigley Field. For the record, this was the World Series in which animal-loving William Sianis was asked by ushers to take his foul-smelling goat out of the park, and he responded by cursing that they never win again. So far, so good.
