Tom Brady’s name it is linked to success. Since being drafted by the Patriots in Draft 2000, the Michigan graduate has been in charge of cementing one of the most illustrious sports careers in history.
However, the 43-year-old quarterback’s triumphs are not limited to soccer alone. In fact, Since 1977, the year he was born, the cities where Brady has lived have been swollen with championships.
San Francisco
Native to the Bay area the first title that came to that metropolitan area was when Brady was three years old; in 1980 the Raiders they got their second championship of Super Bowl Three seasons later they would get the Vince Lombardi again, but after a move to Los Angeles.
From that moment on, the trophies began to arrive. In 1981 the 49ers became champions ─Two years before they recruited Joe Montana─ and the pattern was repeated four more times: 1984, 1988, 1989 and 1994.
But the success wasn’t limited to the NFL. In 1989 the MLB Athletics won the World Series for the last time. The most paradigmatic of the case is that they faced the San Francisco Giants in said Fall Classic at a crossroads that everyone remembers due to the Loma Prieta earthquake, which occurred minutes before the start of game 3.
Detroit-Ann Arbor
Although Brady’s passage through the University of Michigan has not been as remarkable, even in the northern state there were joys. In his collegiate career he got the last Wolverines championship in the NCAA (1997).
The biggest hits in the Detroit metropolitan area came in hockey. In the four years of college career The Red Wings, representative of the motor city in the NHL, got a couple of Stanley drinks, in 1996-97 and 1997-98.
Boston
Evidently most of Brady’s stint in the NFL was with the Patriots. During his stay in Massachusetts he managed to reach 13 AFC finals and nine Super Bowls with a balance of six wins to three losses.
One of the great stories that emerges in this tale of the incredible takes place in Fenway Park. For 86 years los Red Sox they dragged the ‘Curse of the Bambino’ and went in 2004 when they managed to end malaria. The joys on the hot ball were repeated three more times while Brady played for the Patriots ─2007, 2013 and 2018.
And the boom era reached all sports disciplines. In the NBA the Celtics got their first championship (2007-08) ever since Larry Bird played for the organization. In the NHL los Bruins they also had their chance with la Stanley Cup en 2010-11, milestone that they had not achieved since 1971-72.
Tampa Bay
With just one campaign in Florida, Brady’s almost mystical influences were present. The Tampa Bay Lightning became NHL champion for the second time in its history (2003-04 and 2019-20). And even the Big Top Rays stayed in line to get the Commissioner’s Trophy, even though they lost in the World Series to the Dodgers.
