If you haven't checked it out yet, you really should check out our explanation of the entire event at Just One Bad Century. It's part of This Week in 1945.
The entire 1945 World Series is profiled, including reports from the newspapers of the day (even the original Billy Goat report), the box scores, photos, and a rare video taken during the World Series itself.
I know you don't care about the Cubs anymore this year (even I don't), and you probably don't care about the Billy Goat curse anymore (even I don't), but I worked real hard on putting together all this info from that era. It's a good read.
