Charlie Manuel blew it by not starting Lee in a game his team had 4 runs in them, and Brad Lidge decided that a fastball down the middle to A-Rod was a smart choice.

The Steelers have the most in the Super Bowl Era

The Lakers have been hot the last decade, but perhaps there’s solace in San Antonio being able to win a few.

Yankees with 26 (27) seems like a lot but the World Series has been played for so many years.
