Droughts

Interesting NYT article on sports droughts. Apparently, Cleveland has now gone 123 team-season (i.e., 123 combined NFL, NBA and MLB seasons) without a championship. Could it be worse?

Yes. You could have been a kid in Atlanta in the 80’s. When the Braves won the World Series in 1995, we’d had 29 dry years with the Braves, 28 with the Falcons, 27 with the Hawks and nine years with the Flames. That’s 93 years of frustration (and 43 since).
