Four pro teams to root for, Lava.
Eagles -- No Super Bowl titles, last title was in '60, about seven, eight years before they started calling it the Super Bowl
Flyers -- Won Stanley Cup back to back in '73-74 and '74-75
Sixers -- Last won it in '83
Phillies -- Last won it in '80 (that's their only WS title in 125-plus years of existence, though the Philadelphia Athletics won a bunch before moving to Kansas City)
You are right, though, I had just turned 6 when the Sixers won our last pro title. Unfortunately for me, I didn't get to celebrate it, as I didn't start following sports until fall '84 when my dad let me stay up late to watch a Monday Night Football Dolphins-Jets game. I instantly became a Dan Marino fan. (See P-burghers, I don't hate all things from P-burgh. And if that pic is JReeze, I don't hate her, either. Look at her. How could you? And she's a BoSox fan, as am I. Go BoSox!)
Villanova won the NCAA hoops title in '85 in what is widely considered the biggest upset in sports history. Some consider that a Philly title, some don't, since 'Nova technically is outside of city limits. I do. I'm a Temple grad, but 'Nova fan. My sister went there and my dad's been taking me to games there since I was 10 or so.
