"When's the last time you won a title?"

Every Giants fan has heard that question hundreds of times. Small minded Dodger fans always had this fact to shove in our face to quickly end any smack being run at them.

Until now.

Guess what? It's payback time! It's been 22 years since the dodgers won a World Series. That's 14th on the list of MLB franchises with the longest WS crown droughts.

To give them some perspective about how long it's been since their last title, use these fun facts about the last time the Dodgers won a world series whenever you are discussing the topic:

  • No email or internet
  • Ronald Regan was alive...and president
  • No personal cell phones, unless you were Gordon Geckko
  • No DVRs and no DVDs; not even a Blockbuster Video
  • The Rockies, Diamondbacks, Nationals, Rays, and Marlins did not exist (4 of 5 have made WS appearances since 1988)
  • The Rams AND Raiders were still in LA
  • Michael Jordan was ringless
  • Greg Norman was the #1 golfer in the world
  • Madison Bumgarner was not born
  • Tim Lincecum was four years old, Buster Posey was one
  • The #1 selling computer had 64k of memory (the size of one email)
  • Guns and Roses was a hot new band
  • Johnny Carson was the undisputed king of Late Night
Making a cell phone call was cost prohibitive in 1988

One note: Expect the response,"we've won 5 rings, how many have the Giants won?" DO NOT LET UP in the face of this flimsy defense! As a Niner fan, I know this deflecting tactic well - believe me it is KILLING them that they haven't done sh** in 22 years.

Payback is a bitch.
