from indoor soccer*, and three of our four major franchises have skipped town entirely: the Chargers in the NFL and the Rockets and Clippers in the NBA.

* the San Diego Sockers absolutely dominated the NASL/MISL, winning ten championships in eleven seasons from 1982 to 1992.


The HoSM might also skip town if we select

There's no one around to still be mediocre

And the number of seasons of mediocrity isn't as high

47 SD Chargers seasons
54 SD Padres seasons
4 SD Rockets seasons
6 SD Clippers seasons

111 seasons

Minnesota has spent 32 years in the darkness with 4 teams playing the 4 sports almost (7 years without hockey) every season. That's 120 straight seasons ending without a trophy/parade/etc

I don't believe they even have a conference/league title in those 32 years to celebrate. If you remove the Twins 2 titles in 4 years you have to go all the way back to the Minnesota Lakers in the mid-50s. That team was far too successful to stick in Minnesota and rightly headed to Hollywood.


This site gives MSP (118 seasons) a slim "win" over Buffalo

(117 seasons).

I had no idea New York City was 4th on the list.


Wow, there's an internet search for everything

I've hand calculated that number several times for no reason I guess.
