The Monsters are AHL, let’s not start listing minor league championships.

In Ohio, your NHL team is Columbus and you should be supporting them. A lack of fans is what has killed that team’s chances a lot. Players hate it there because nobody in Ohio cares about hockey.

I’m not a big baseball, or sports, guy in general, but I like to keep up with the big games/finals. This was an incredible series, and a great game 7. I didn’t really have a preference, but I’m glad the Cubs won.

Im right there with you Studs.  
I think it was awesome to know I watched a rare moment in Sports History.

That’s not going to happen. I lived in Columbus a few years. (I live 45 minutes from there now.) People aren’t big on hockey there. It’s all about OSU college ball. You should see the sea of red downtown on game days. It’s a bit scary.

Personally, it’s all about football for me too. Although, I’m more an NFL watcher than college ball.

We’re only listing the Monsters because we haven’t had any championship in so many years that we’ll take what we can get - which is anything at all.

> Baseball was introduced to Japan in 1872 and is Japan's most popular participatory and spectator sport. The first professional competitions emerged in the 1920s. The highest level of baseball in Japan is Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), which consists of two leagues, the Central League and the Pacific League, with six teams in each league. High school baseball enjoys a particularly strong public profile and fan base, much like college football and college basketball in the United Stat In Japan...

@DonBoba  
All of the teams are located in the United States with the exception being the Toronto Blue Jays. Last year 26.5 percent of players were born Outside the U.S., spanning 17 Countries and Territories.
