OAKLAND–With the Golden State Warriors first NBA title in 40 years, and second since they move from Philadelphia, the Bay Area has enjoyed great success in sports.

Once Oakland was called “City of Champions”and we can see why below with all their titles. In the recent past the San Francisco Giants have been winning and have joined the 49ers who are the cunningest team in the bay as far as championships.

Oakland:

Athletics (4)four World Series titles (1972,1973,1974,1989)

Raiders (3)NFL Superbowl tittles (1977,1981,1984)*

Warriors (2)NBA Titles (1975,2015)

49ERS (5)NFL Superbowl titles (1982,1985,1989,1990,1995)

Giants (3)MLB Three World Series titles(2010,2012,2014)

San Jose Sharks: zip

San Jose Sabercats (3) 2002, 2004, 2007

Earthquakes (2)MLS Soccer titles(2001,2003)

*That Superbowl (1984)was won by the Raiders while their short stay in Los Angeles, but we all agree when you talk Raiders, you think of Oakland not Los Angeles. Although the Warriors first played in San Francisco/Daly City, the Cow Palace, and San Jose Arena while they were building what is now known as the Oracle Arena, they have won both of their titles playing in Oakland.

How many more could be in store? Maybe the San José Sharks would win their first Stanley Cup next season, then we could say that all of our professional sports teams are truly champions.
