Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles...Palo Alto? What do those first three big cities and the small town just south of San Francisco have in common? They're all part of the ESPN (the sports channel) contest to find TitleTown, USA. According to them, TitleTown is the place where there are more championships and bigger dramatic moments than any other town in America.
Don't let the quiet rolling hills and rocky bay shores of my hometown fool you. Palo Alto is TitleTown and, even though we don't have any professional sports teams, I only have to use two words to tell you why: Stanford Cardinal.
Stanford has always been one of my teams, especially for basketball and baseball. But for Stanford University, the particular sport doesn't really matter; Palo Alto has been the home of almost 100 sports team titles in its history (58 for men's teams, 37 for women). Plus they've got a great (if rowdy) band who made a comeback last year with its wild music and halftime football shows.
Think your city is better than mine? Tell us all about your teams and what they've done lately and why that makes them part of TitleTown. Sitting on my kingdom over here, I'll bet you can't do it.
