What premise did I post?

I replied to Funclown. He said he doesn't want the IL represented in a Championship Game because it "takes away from realism and would never happen in any major sport." All of my examples are from the five major sports: Baseball, Basketball, Football, Soccer and Hockey. It's why I didn't include racing, wrestling, boxing, golf, UFC, etc, because they aren't major sports but have major underdog stories.

Then, I did a quick search looking for the biggest underdogs to make a Championship Game in their sport. Windy City was the final WC seed with 78 wins. They haven't made the playoffs since 2028 and have only gone once in 11 years. They haven't won a Brewmaster's since 2009. Thus, they qualify as a one of the biggest underdog stories in BLB history if they are to make the Brewmaster's.

The Knicks did lose that year and regardless of the lock out season, they made the Championship as the 8th seed and without their best player in Patrick Ewing. They were a huge underdog that Finals.

The Devils, from wikipedia: "The win was made more impressive by the fact that the Devils won it holding the lowest seed ever to win the Stanley Cup with the fifth seed, which remained the record until 2012, another Final which not only involved the Devils, but also saw the Stanley Cup won by a team that did not have home ice advantage in any of the four rounds of the playoffs, as the Devils lost to the Los Angeles Kings. Their regular-season winning percentage was also the lowest since the 1967 Toronto Maple Leafs. They were the underdogs going in,"

The NCAAB is a major sport and the 1983 and 1985 winners were never expected to be there or win for that matter.

The NFL is a major sport and both Giants teams weren't predicted to even make their conference final.

The Miracle on Ice, I mean, come on, it's called the Miracle on Ice. That team was amateurs and college players.

What do I know about Leiceter? "Leicester’s run during the 2015-16 Premier League season may go down as the biggest longshot championship in sports history. The club defied the odds—literally, they had 5,000-to-1 odds of winning the title this season—and clinched their first trophy in team history."

As for Windy City, they aren't good? They just beat a 107 win team in the toughest division in baseball and they didn't have a single BLB player hurt. They were 2nd in the BLB in walks and steals. They have a legit rotation. Barton Mejia is special. Tom Stark is special. Ricky Pizarro is special. Tom Jensen finished 3rd in the Last Call. They also have a good manager who has won a Triple-A Championship. They also have a GM that knows a lot about baseball. Using revisionist history on those teams: Devils, Giants, etc, doesn't change the fact that they were major underdog stories. The Blues could go on to win the Brewmaster's this year, and then be one of the best teams in the IL for the next decade with their core. We could look back and say, "remember when we didn't know how good that team was?"

But you are right... I don't watch soccer. You know what else I don't really watch? Any other sport. Doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about.

Did you really mention the 1980 US Hockey team??

Amatuer baseball?

The 80s were a confusing time IMO and all this was 30 years ago. Today's it's more science.

NHL is regional

The Knicks thing was fixed (Jordan retired tried to give Patrick a title)

Soccer is ... well Soccer.

The sexist cheap shot is totally unnecessary. And just because you don’t like soccer doesn’t make it objectively bad. You’re in the minority. Sorry there’s not enough head trauma and life-shortening injuries for you.
