I'm a Dolphins fan, so I've never had a chance to forget history; someone is always chasing it - and thus far - coming up short. 73 is a forgotten year, a good year and a second ring, but 72 is ALWAYS there.

It means a lot to me. It's part of your teams heritage and you should be proud of it. Bingo, I think it's part of your duty as a fan to go back and learn the history of your team, relive the highs and the lows of your franchise and find something you can glean out of it. It's all interconnected and important. Also, as a big fan of individual sports, namely golf and tennis, titles mean even more. It's a lens back to the different eras of the game and the dominant figures of those time periods. |

For me was the Cardinals World Series in 82 and the 60's. because the stories my dad told me about it. I was born in 83 so all I have is stories from him and any footage they shown on ESPN classics. I believe in the early 00s I watched the winning game and it was really cool.
The stories my dad told me about it was made it feel great. How he talked about how amazing Bob Gibson was and Lou Brock. I have some memories of Ozzie but I was young.

I find it incredibly annoying when people boast about how many titles their team had won in the past when
a) They hadn't been born yet and so didn't live through most or even all of the successes they boast about, and
b) it's not their local team or don't have any other reason to support whichever team besides said team being successful.

Even the ones won during the lifetime don't matter. I'll go as far as saying one can carry right up to the new season starts, after that, shut the f*** up. It's meaningless.

My only favorite team who has yet to win a Championship in my lifetime is the Raiders. I enjoyed every second of the Wings' 4 cups and the Lakers' 5 championships.
