Cleveland icon “Rapid Robert” Bob Feller, from Van Meter, Iowa, who pitched at the highest level already between his junior and senior years of high school.

Technically the Tennessee Titans still own the Oilers' history and identity.

That is why the resurrected franchise was the "Texans" instead.

Cleveland is weird where, legally, the franchise went "dormant" while the Baltimore Ravens were an "expansion franchise" award to Cleveland's previous ownership.

That is why we still have the Browns but the Oilers (a much better name) are gone.

The movie Major League.


Cubs winning World Series.


Otherwise nothing. Cleveland sucks.

Isn't Jim Brown technically a Raven?

I don't see him wearing any Raven uniform. Nor did he ever play in the AFL.

One of the NFL's greatest.

But isn't he really part of the Ravens legacy now?

No. The Ravens were technically an expansion franchise, meaning, they started from scratch and their records are theirs. In '99, the Browns resumed their franchise and keep their former records.

Sounds like a paper shuffle. I'll go ahead and give him to Baltimore.

Except they took all of the Browns players with them.

They played 2 years in Memphis. I think only one as the Oilers though.

Cleveland is so bad at sports, the Cubs have won a World Series more recently than Cleveland has won anything

Not that much more recent.

Cavs won the NBA in June of 2016.
