Forget Boston or Detroit or even New York City, the sports capital of the United States has to be Pittsburgh, PA.
They now own the Super Bowl champion Steelers and the Stanley Cup champion Penguins.
Even the World Series winners, the Philadelphia Phillies are in the same state.
No city has ever won more than two titles from the NBA, NFL, MLB, or NFL in the same year.
Pittsburgh’s feat, following the double by the Pirates and Steelers 30 years earlier, solidifies its claim as one of the nation’s most successful pro sports cities, per capita, even if the Pirates can’t overcome their current deficit in the NL Central and make it a triple.
Can you imagine if only Villanova’s Scottie Reynolds had missed that layup? The Panthers could have made a run at the NCAA title.
Other cities like L.A. and New York have had multiple champions before, but they also have more teams.
