As a fan of your favorite teams, how many Championships have you been able to celebrate while witnessing them - meaning while you have been alive? I started watching sports since roughly 1977 so here are mine:
Lakers - 1980, 82, 85, 87, 88, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010 = 10
Indianapolis Colts - 2006 = 1
Chicago Cubs - 2016 = 1
*NY Mets - 1986 = 1, I put an * by that one because I was a huge Dwight Gooden fan not really a Mets fan though because I loved the Cubs but rooted for them like hell against the RedSox in the 1986 WS. So I feel like I was a small part of that fan wise. Where I went to highschool it was a Gooden vs Clemens thing for years and I loved Doc!
I have 13 I have celebrated with great joy, how about you guys?
Out of all of these Championships I celebrated, picking 1 is damn near impossible as my favorite. All were awesome. If I had to pick 1 if my life depended on it, I would pick the 1985 Lakers winning it at Boston Garden. That was joy I cant even describe beating the Celtics on their home floor to win it all. That was the first time in Finals history the Lakers ever beat that team. Man that was so huge! Magic avenged his loss to Larry, I was so relieved because the Celtics were nearly unbeatable at home. The Colts and Cubs winning their 1 gave me so much joy too because I could finally say both were World Champions. Colts had won 1 in Baltimore but not in Indy until 2006, finally Indy wasn't PODUNK and was a proud Champion. Too finish, I cried when the Cubs won this past season!
