I'm a sports fan! That's one of the reasons this time of year is so great, Baseball is in full swing, while Basketball and Hockey are into their final rounds of playoff action. So this week I'll be sharing the...
Top Three Professional Sports Franchises
3. Montreal Canadians--yes, my Red Wings have the most championships (soon to be 12) of any US based team, but the 24 Stanley Cup wins by the Canadians is unequaled, they've won 1 out of 4 Stanley cups ever contested!
2. Boston Celtics--So the Lakers may come one closer to their 17 NBA championships this year, the more impressive fact is their winning percentage in finals, .850 vs .483 for the Lakers (which they have a chance to improve to .500 with a win this year!)
1. New York Yankees--As much as it pains me to admit, their record 26 World Championships is the best of any north American sport, we could go into lots here, but the record speaks for itself. They have averaged a World Series appearance every 2.7 years since the first series in 1903.
Honorable Mention--Since I did not name an NFL team above, let's explain a bit...you can see the number of championships listed above, in comparison, the Pittsburgh Steelers won their 6th Super Bowl last year to break a three way tie for the most with Dallas and San Francisco, and each of those three teams won most of their Super Bowls within a single decade 70's for PIT (4 of 6), 80's for SFR (4 of 5) and 90's for DAL (3 of 5).
