Rangers have jackshit in their WS champ trophy case, I have hated the Os since the 70s, the Giants and the Cards utterly humiliated the Tigers in the '06 & '12 WS, the Red Sox exposed the Tigers BP in the '13 ALCS, so it is possible that the Tigers could potentially get some revenge this postseason vs as many as 4 of them.
I have always envied the mid-market NL Cardinals, b/c they have rarely been worse than mediocre in their storied history, but not nearly as much their city of StL, b/c their 50 yr old NHL franchise has never won a Stanley Cup, their former NFL Cardinals franchise was even more inept than the Lions, before it moved to AZ, and there are rumors that the Rams may soon leave as well. "The city/state has not had an NBA team," despite even OKC & Utah having one.
Yea it's been awhile since a NBA team been in St. Louis. Many have forgotten. They had an ABA team as well. But really It's a base ball town, except when the Blues get to winning. and boy did they like the greatest show on turf.
According to Wikipedia =The Atlanta Hawks are a professional basketball team based in Atlanta, Georgia. The Hawks compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member team of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division. The team plays its home games at Philips Arena.
The team's origins can be traced to the establishment of the Tri-Cities Blackhawks in 1946 in Moline, Illinois, a member of the National Basketball League (NBL) and owned by Ben Kerner & Leo Ferris.[4] In 1949, they joined the NBA as part of the merger between the NBL and the Basketball Association of America (BAA), and had Red Auerbach as coach briefly. In 1951, Kerner moved the team to Milwaukee, where they changed their name to the Hawks. Kerner and the team moved again in 1955 to St. Louis, where they won their only NBA championship in 1958 and qualified to play in the NBA Finals in 1957, 1960 and 1961. The Hawks played the Boston Celtics in all four of their trips to the NBA Finals. The St. Louis Hawks moved to Atlanta in 1968,
