toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 I think Altanta has it worse. The only thing about about that city though is that they won the World Series 13 years ago, if it wasn't for that, there one and only championship would have been in Basketball, 50 years ago. If you add it all up, they have gone 113 seasons for the 4 combined sports and this doesn't include the old Atlanta Flames. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjgj13 30 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 What about Chicago before the Bulls? Only the Bears won anything since the Hawks won the cup in the 60s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 I think the point is that Philadelphia has a long drought since winning ANYTHING despite having several teams. Detroit has won seven championships since Philly last won one. New York has won like 15. Chicago has won 8 or 9. Los Angeles has won several. Even Boston has won a couple. Miami, Oakland, San Francisco, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Pittsburgh all have won a few since then. Philadelphia has one of, if not the longest drought, in ALL FOUR major sports. Most major cities have at least one team that has won something since the last time a team in Philly did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
