Interesting Observation

Something I did not realize - nice observation from Mike Ganis:

It turns out that the last time a team from St. Louis made it to the championship round in each of the four major sports, it was a team from Boston (New England) that beat them.

In 2004, the Cardinals lost to the Red Sox in the WS.

In early 2002, the Rams lost to the Patriots in SB 36.

In 1970, the Blues lost to the Bruins in the Stanley Cup Finals.

In 1957, the Hawks lost to the Celtics in the NBA Finals.

It seems that St.Louis has become Boston’s “bitch”, as Jim Rome would say.

And to add insult to injury, the first time that St. Louis became Boston’s bitch was back in 1956, when they drafted Bill Russell and traded the rights to him to St. Louis for Ed Macauley and Cliff Hagan. The Celtics went on to win eleven NBA Championships from 1957 to 1969 with Russell at the center position.
