Of course fans from that area are often arrogant, stupid...and clearly lucky.

The more interesting of course are the towns at the bottom. And the question is when can they jump up much higher. A couple of years ago the Vancouver Canucks had a 3-2 lead in the Stanley Cup.....but messed that up. The Ottawa hockey team had a finals appearance about 10 years ago...but failed. San Diego hasn't come that close. The Padres had a couple of WS appearances...but were never close to winning...nor have the Chargers been close. The Bills came within a Scott Norwood miss of winning a SB in the 90s......and the Indians had their 1997 leading by 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th in the 7th game of the World Series issue.
