Boston Championships

pudge on 2004-04-30T16:33:59

At least one Boston team has won championships, in the four major sports, every decade since the 1900s, except the 1990s. And in onnly the 1970s did more than one team win a championship, when both the Celtics and Bruins won, two apiece.

(Note: I am using the common definition of "decade", which means the very first decade was from years 1 to 9, the second from years 10 to 19, and so on :-).

1903: Red Sox

1912: Red Sox 1915: Red Sox 1916: Red Sox 1918: Red Sox

1929: Bruins

1939: Bruins

1941: Bruins

1957: Celtics 1959: Celtics

1960: Celtics 1961: Celtics 1962: Celtics 1963: Celtics 1964: Celtics 1965: Celtics 1966: Celtics 1968: Celtics 1969: Celtics

1970: Bruins 1972: Bruins 1974: Celtics 1976: Celtics

1981: Celtics 1984: Celtics 1986: Celtics

2002: Patriots 2004: Patriots

What does this mean? That I should probably give up on the Bruins, Sox, and Celtics until 2010. :/ Of course, I won't. The Red Sox are far and away the best team in the majors right now, and the Bruins are very close to being able to compete for the championship (being the best regular season team in the Eastern Conference two of the last three years). Maybe they won't win in the end, but I'll enjoy it for the duration it lasts.

You have my sympathies...

You have my sympathies on the Bruins being eliminated from the playoffs this year.

I'm always hoping for a Wings-Leafs or a Wings-Bruins finals, so I hope the Bruins get their playoff act together next year.

Go Wings! :)
