Premium Member Diesel Posted March 31, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Losing City. That was my thought today. I was listening to the history of the Braves on the radio... They started talking about the Glory years. The Braves won what 14 straight "pennants" 1 championship. Then i thought even farther. That's the only championship we have as a city. Then I thought even farther... Of all the city/states with a Basketball, Football, and Baseball team... We're the worst when it comes to # of Championships. Correct me if I'm wrong... But every other team that meets those conditions have more Championships than us. The only bright spot was when I thought about San Diego. But the Clippers moved to LA a long time ago. Can anybody think of a city/state with a Basketball/Baseball/Football team with less championships than Atlanta. Are we the losingest city?

prolific25 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Cleveland has no titles since the Hawks,Braves,and Falcons came to ATL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lascar78 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Yeah it's a weird comparison with teams moving, being added etc... I mean the thrashers have not been around long. I would bet that there are a number of 1 title cities. What does charlotte have, 1 nhl title? Edit: oops was thinking nhl, not mlb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. I take that back, the Suns went to two title games and NO titles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhay610 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 No chips for CLE in many years. I just read an SI article the other day about this. In fact, the Kenny Lofton team was the one the Braves actually beat for the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troubleman Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I laugh whenever I think of the Bay Area (home for me) since I was born. Let's see: 49ers-5 championships Raiders-2 championships (I don't count the LA one) Warriors-1 championship SF Giants-0 Oakland A's-4 championships Sharks-0 Heck even if I choose one side of the Bay it's pretty ridiculous. East Bay: 7 Championships West Bay: 5 Championships Yeah, the city of Atlanta is pretty sad overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reds/Pats/Celts..... But there's LA... Lakers/Dodgers/Rams/Raiders There's also NY... Knicks/Yankees/Giants/Jets/Mets Chicago... Bulls/Bears/White Sox/Cubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 NY will win by a landslide just because of the Yankees. 26 world series championships is probably more than any city in all sports combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
