I'm older than most here. The pain of being a sports fan in Baltimore in 1969 make this year's playoff sweep seem trivial.

All three of our local pro teams had great regular seasons. The Colts were a sure thing to beat the upstart Jets in Super Bowl III. No way the mighty Orioles would lose to the Mets in the World Series. And I thought for sure the Bullets might beat the Knicks in the NBA semifinals.

Talk about long lasting pain ...

Crazy to lose to the same city in all three sports with two to be considered monumental upsets. I believe the Knicks were actually favored against the Bullets, but not sure as it was before I was born.

The Webster/Mussina game was extremely painful. That whole series was the worst for me and nothing is close.
