24598 The search for title town USA should begin and end in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, the home of 5 super bowls, 5 world series victories and 2 Stanley cups. Not to mention the strong traditions set forth by the University of Pittsburgh. It would be impossible for another city to make an argument otherwise. The school that produced four pro football hall of famers and twenty three college football hall of famers has long stood for excellence on the field. Our panthers claim nine national championships with two from the associated press. Football isn't the only sport that the Pitt has given this city to be proud of. Their men's and women's basketball teams have been national powers recently ending their seasons in tournament action. Pittsburgh has long been in love with its Pirates baseball team. Even thought they have frustrated us for the past fifteen seasons they still have a rabid fan base. In their history the pirates have brought nine division championships, nine national league championships, and five World Series victories home to Pittsburgh. Even though we rarely celebrate victories there PNC Park provides the best baseball experience in major league baseball. Hockey is a sport that the steel city has fallen in love with. Since the early 90s the penguins have given us something to be proud of. Bringing home six division titles, two conference championships, and two Stanley cup victories. Currently the penguins have one of the most talented young lineups in all of the NHL. An argument for the sporting supremacy of Pittsburgh has to include the Steelers. A team that is responsible for the greatest play in NFL history with the immaculate reception, a team that has a season ticket waiting list of over thirty thousand names, a team that is the pride and joy of the city of Pittsburgh. Our beloved Steelers have brought us eighteen division championships, six conference championships, and five super bowl wins. With nineteen current hall of fame members and many more awaiting eligibility the Steelers have proven excellence throughout the years. While many other cities may lay claim to being title town USA none have been as dominant in every sport as their Pittsburgh counterparts. There isn't any city other than Pittsburgh that even deserves consideration. The search for title town USA ends where the three rivers converge. true 2008-04-13T22:50:27Z 49836 1 2008-04-13T22:50:27Z
