Do you have a "all-something" team?

Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with the new frontier, otherwise known as today's college grads-to-be (hear that all you STUDENTS!) and got into a discussion of best teams.  What started this all was the recent addition to the Cavs of Jamison, for next to nothing (sorry Z, but see you soon after your brief vacation-I hope) and the NFB (new frontier boys) thought the Cavs would be an all-time team here in championship deprived C'Town.  (Forget yourselves Chi Town-Beantown-and every other city, you hold no candle to this city's drought)  This got me thinking (no not hard, but a little thought went into this)  What are your favorite "all-something" teams.  No limits, no category excluded, just in your mind an all-something team.  So, here goes mine.

All-Championship Team:  1964 NFL Browns: at the game, sat in centerfield bleachers (before known as Dawg Pound) and paid...$7.00 for the ticket!!  Favored Colts manhandled all day. 

All-Almost Championship Team: 1995 MLB Indians:  In strike shortened season when on to an absolute dominating season; last inning comebacks; no opponent lead to big; anyone in lineup from 1-9 could go deep; solid pitching and bullpen; and back to World Series after 41 years.  Faced a Hall-of-Fame Pitching staff for Braves, but still lost due to Eric Greg behind the plate.  His strike zone matched his waist line which was Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssss wide.

All-Sports Illustrated Jinx Team:  Talk about the SI jinx.  '86 Baseball special had Joe Carter and Cory Snyder on cover and picked the Tribe to win it all.  Not only did they not win it all, they finished 5th.  Ugh!

All-Gotta Watch THIS Team:  Any NY Mets team managed by Casey Stengle!  What a sight and his post game sound bites were out of this world.  He WAS not a "manage by the stats" kind of guy.

All-Worse Dressed Team:  This is a tie. Houston Astro's; San Diego Padres and Cleveland Indians.  Astros had those multi-horizontal striped uniforms; Padres had those Brown and Orange uniforms (only one team can pull off Brown and Orange, but I digress) and the Indians in the all red double-knits.  This is when Boog Powell was with Tribe and you had to see him in that dress playing 1B!!!

All-Best NBA Team:  Sorry, NFB, but you had to see the, gulp, Celtics from the '60s to really see a dynasty team.  No 3 point shot and they still ran wild for multiple championships.  Yes, there were fewer teams, but with fewer teams, each team had a deeper roster.  First Bulls 3-peats are close, but gotta give it to Bahstan!

All-Why am I watching this team:  This is easy, any Inidians team in the 60's-70's.  Absolutely the worse baseball played.  Yes, I did follow them, why?  Who the h**l knows!!

All-Hated Opponent Team:  "I hate the Yankees...always have...always will"  Need I say more.

All-Hated Opponent Team's Fans:  No second place finisher here, only the Bahstan fans.  I will gulp hard and say I could watch a game with a Yankee fan, but not, never, nada, zip, zero with a Bahstan fan.  Accent; annoying, thinks world stated in 2004; feel they get screwed all the time.  I may even watch a game in Mini-sota in the open in April then with them in the shrine-Fenway Park.

All-Time NCAA BB Team:  Sorry AC, but it has to be the great UCLA teams.  Think about it, no freshman played, team changed every year due to graduation and they still won, what 6-7-8-9? in a row!  Powerfull and actually fun to watch.

All-Memorable Team:  1967 Dayton Flyers.  Got hooked at UD and saw an incredible run in the NCAA and lost in finals to Lew Alcindor led UCLA.  Got me also hooked into what is now known as "March Madness".  Next year UD went to NIT (at that time still a big time event) in New York's Madison Square Garden.  Saw everygame IN PERSON at the Garden and viewed Flyers winning it over St. Patricks Day in New York!  That, my friends is a subject for another day, my of my! (PS NFB:  Due to strategic scheduling of classes and the tournament schedule, stayed with classmate on Long Island for 10 days and missed ONE, yes ONE class!!  Now that is how to cut classes, but you didn't hear that from me, a father of a college student, RIGHT!!!!!)

Those are some of mine....give me yours.
