Well, that depends on if you view the 2019 title as a 2018 Patriots (because their Super Bowl wasted everybody's time in 2019) or a 2019 Chiefs win. If it's the latter, we're talking 4/4 (Blues, Raptors, Nationals, and Chiefs). This year, we've got the Golden Knights, Nuggets, Rangers (all first-timers) and either the Chiefs or [Insert Eagles/Seahawks/Lions/Chiefs/Dolphins - only the Lions and Dolphins are particularly accursed here].

Walk-Off Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 A special congratulations should go out to Rangers relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman, who pitched briefly in tonight's game. Now, he is part of two especially history-making World Series title runs; he was one of the relievers on the Chicago Cubs squad that won the 2016 Fall Classic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chiefs did win their second Super Bowl that year, but technically it's their first in the NFL as when they won in 1969, it was when they were in the American Football League.

I was pulling for the D Backs, mainly due to the absurdity of them even being there, but I’m stoked for the Rangers. Good for them! I hope this helps put to rest some of the pain 2011 caused. Nice little run there, D Backs. Nothing to be ashamed of. Probably had no business even being there, but they earned it by beating the teams in front of them. Snaketober was fun! This was one of those World Series where you're good with whoever wins. I can't tell you the last time I felt this was about a WS. Maybe 2014? Both teams were nice story. Upstart Dbacks vs the Rangers' drought. Players and managers are mostly good dudes. No powers like the YankSox or Dodgers. And especially the Astros* were nowhere in sight! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDAWG Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Rangers Radio Broadcaster Eric Nadel with the call on the Radio: Nadel had taken several months off to deal with his mental health during Spring Training and returned to the radio broadcast in August. He had been with the Rangers since 1979 and on the radio for the Rangers since 1982. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when the Washingtons caught all that flack for getting the years wrong on this? Point being, the Super Bowl played in 2019 was for the 2018 championship. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done and congrats boys! I live in the Metroplex now and listening to a post game and among the fanbase there is relief that Game 6 of 2011 is no longer the dark cloud that haunts the franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
