Championship Drought-- Part 3

KANSAS CITY--  (Chiefs, Royals)  30 years.  Royals almost ended drought last year, losing in game 7 to San Francisco.  It was their first championship appearance since the 1985 World Series.

OAKLAND--  (A's, Raiders, Golden State Warriors).  This drought, of course, was snapped last week when the Warriors defeated the LeBron.  Before that it had been 26 years.  None of the Warriors were alive the last time when they last won in 1975.  The Raiders were in Los Angeles when they won their last Super Bowl in 1984.  The A's didn't have a parade with their last World Series championship in 1989, following the earthquake.

CINCINNATI--  (Bengals, Reds)  25 years  Last win was Reds in 1990 World Series when they swept the A's.

PHILADELPHIA--  (Eagles, Flyers, Phillies, 76ers)  Recently snapped (seven years ago), but 25 years before that.  The Eagles have been a big tease with 4 straight appearances in NFC Title games.  They were in Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005, but lost..  The last champion 76ers was 1983 and the Phillies won the World Series in 2008.

And, then There Are our Cubbies.  --Cooter
