Of the cities that have a team in each of the four major US professional sports leagues, DC has gone the longest without winning anything.

So I get the frustration from hockey fans whose teams have also been bad. But for me, the thing that hurts is that as a fan of all sports, if I lived in the bay area, yeah the Sharks have been futile, but I'd have the Giants. I know that's no solace to someone who isn't a baseball fan, but I think the Caps would hurt me less if at least some DC team had won a title since 1992.
The Twin Cities have gone longer ... a whole four months longer.
