DC is suffering

Congratulations to Philly fans. The Phillies won the World Series last night ending a 25 year drought without any any championships from their four major teams.

Now, what city is suffering the most?

Cities with four major sports and their last championship:

Philly--2008 Phillies
Boston--2008 Celtics
Detroit--2007-08 Red Wings
New York--2007 Giants
Miami--2006 Heat
Chicago--2005 White Sox
Denver--2000-01 Avalanche
Dallas--1999-99 Stars
Atlanta--1995 Braves
San Fran (if you include San Jose)--1994 49ers
Minny/St. Paul--1991 Twins
Washington--1991 Redskins


Washington and Minneapolis are now tied for the longest drought. Yes, DC only got a baseball team a few years ago. Yes, Maryland won a college bball championship in 2001. Yes, DC United has won 4 MLS titles. But the fact remains...DC is now the longest suffering city without a championship.
