Title Town?
Posted in Chazerai, Professional Sports, The Quick Hook on June 17th, 2011 by Craig ZuckermanAfter watching the Bruins make mincemeat out of the heavily favored Canucks on Wednesday, my neighbor Brad mentioned that within the last 10 years, 7 Boston teams have won Championships (2002, 2003, 2005 Pats; 2008 Celtics; 2004, 2007 Red Sox; and now 2011 Bruins). Pree-tee, Pree-tee good. That of course, threw me into research mode. New York, from 1991-2000 won 8 ( 1994 Rangers; 1995, 2000 Devils (New York annexed exit 16 W), 1991 Football New York Giants; and 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000 New York Yankees).
On the golf course today, though, Burg pointed out that all four Boston teams won championships within 7 years. New York’s best would be 11 (J-E-T-S 1969; Knickerbockers 1973; Yanks 1977; and Islanders 1980).
Gotta say, my hat is off to Bah-stan.
