Chicago Cubs fans have finally hatched a plan to reverse a 66-year-old curse.

Which they claim has kept them out of the World Series since 1945 -- and to do it ... they're donating goats to families in need.

Legend has it the curse originated at the Cubs' 1945 World Series game against the Detroit Tigers when a stinky goat in the bleachers created an uproar among Cubs fans. The owner was asked to take his four-legged friend and go.

 But before leaving, the man proclaimed, "Them Cubs, they aren't gonna win no more!" -- and they haven't ever since.

Now fans have chosen to work through World Vision, a non-profit that specializes in donating goats to families in places like Uganda for milk, cheese, and yogurt.

For the record, there have been multiple other attempts to break the curse -- but clearly, none have been successful.
