   Interactive map follows the 4 major sports trophies around the US over the past century. New York/Boston area looks like it's been hit by nuclear attack, but strangely, MLB trophy avoids north side of Chicago like the plague

As a Pacers fan, I find the lack of ABA championships on the map disturbing.

Anaheim Ducks 2007. My question would be why is NHL considered a major sport? They should just replace it on the list with 1A college football as it's far more popular and relevant.

I thought the same thing about Vancouver, then realized they're including the years before Lord Stanley's Cup was awarded solely to the NHL

Interesting (and thankful) that they included the pre-Super Bowl championships. Note to Slate though: the Chicago Staleys became the Bears so that 1921 championship should be for the Bears.

Depressing? Milwaukee gets a NBA dot before Chicago.

The Stanley Cup is the best championship trophy by a mile though and as such should always be included in any championship discussions.

I played the Stanley Cup timeline by itself and thought my Internet crapped out at one point. Nope, just the Cup getting stuck in Montreal for a decade.

You do know that no one lived in the interior of the country until after the 1940s, right? I mean there were like 15 teams in baseball in 1910. 3 of which were in New York. What would disprove the conspiracy? If there had been an Omaha Rumrunners that took the 1911 World Series would you be happier?

It's a conspiracy to concentrate the championships into multiple-team multiple-league long-standing-franchise high population density areas!

It would be mostly visits to the Bronx, then occasional ones to Manhattan, Queens, and East Rutherford, one extended stay in Nassau County (not a borough, just to be clear), and one long-ago stop in Brooklyn.

Bronx - 28 (Yankees, 1956 NY Football Giants)
Manhattan - 14 (Baseball Giants 5, football Giants 3, Rangers 4, Knicks 2)
Queens - 3 (Mets '69, '86, Jets '68)
Brooklyn - 1 (Dodgers '55)
Staten Island - garbage from other boros
Nassau Cty - 4 (Islanders)
E. Rutherford - 7 (Giants 4, Devils 3)

I forgot the baseball Giants had all those championships. So Manhattan's more than occasional.

It might as well be the Bronx though. I've always thought it was kind of weird having two teams playing within walking distance of each other.

Stupid troll is a moron.


I wonder why they put the Devils as East Rutherford rather than just New Jersey, when they didn't put teams like the Islanders as Uniondale. And if you have East Rutherford, why not put the Giants there for those championships?

Thanks for that breakdown, homie.

Tennessee too, though all of their teams are relatively new. And I guess Oklahoma if you're holding the Thunder to an insane standard.
