Last Title by Town
-
With the San Francisco Giants winning the World Series last night here are the last years in which each "Major League" market has won a professional team title in the 4 major sports: football, baseball, basketball, hockey. For "Major League" I also count titles that were won in leagues that have merged with the current leagues, such as the AFL or the ABA. I also include those markets that have never won a title and note the first year they had a major league team in a sport. Single markets such as SF/Oak/San Jose, LA/Anaheim, NY/NJ are combined with the exception of Baltimore and Washington. Football is included in the year of the regular season, not the year the SB was played. Here is the list:
2010 San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose Giants MLB (last previous title was the 49ers 1994 title)
2010 LA/Anaheim Lakers NBA
2010 Chicago Blackhawks NHL
2009 New Orleans Saints NFL

2006 Raleigh Hurricane NHL
2006 Miami Heat NBA
2004 Tampa Bay Lightning NHL
2001 Phoenix/Ariz. Diamondback MLB
2001 Denver Avalanche NHL
2001 Memphis no titles, year Grizzlies first played there

True as far as geographic area, but I doubt you'll find any 49'ers and Raiders fans who will eve claim to be from the same planet, much less the same area.

Sure, but that is sort of a choice they have to make, isn't it. I am sure you might say the same about the Giants and Jets, and hell, they play in the same stadium!
