Ed Sudol, who the Mets tortured at home plate with IINM three different games over 20 innings long (all of which we lost).

Re: 122 Franchises Ranked Bottom to Top:
I can't remember the exact time period, but around the late 1800s and/or early 1900s, the NYPD would give medallions to widows of fallen police officers. Those medallions had an NY on them in the exact same configuration as the current Yankees logo. When the Yankees (originally the Highlanders after moving from Baltimore where they were one of the four (?) incarnations of the Orioles) were looking for a logo, they decided to take that same logo used by the NYPD memorial medallions as a tribute to the NYPD.
This is why after 9/11, the Yankees did not add anything to their caps like the Mets did to honor the fallen police and fire fighters from the Twin Towers. They already were honoring them for nearly a century.
Does that appease your sarcasm?

Ah, yes. I forgot the Mets did that. I always (when I could remember...) liked the way the Mets did that "merger."

80. Jacksonville Jaguars
Why? Jacksonville is known for one big football game, Florida vs Georgia in The World’s Largest Cocktail Party. Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars are a drunken by-product of having too many cocktails.
The Good. From 1996-1999, the Jaguars went 55-19 and went to two AFC Championship Games, this year they will break their streak of six straight double-digit seasons.
The Bad. From 2000 on, the Jags have only been to the playoffs twice. 22-74 from 2011-2016.
The Ugly. The Jaguars went to the Arizona Diamondback School of Uniform Design.
Where they Play: Everbank Field, built where the original Gator Bowl was once erected.
Owner: Shahid Khan, Khan easily has the best looking facial hair amongst all NFL owners, bought the team in 2011 from Wayne Weaver the original owner of the Jaguars.
Coach: Doug Marrone, currently in his first full season with the Jags, he coached the last two games last year after Gus Bradley was fired. Marrone has also coached the Buffalo Bills and Syracuse University. He also was the Offensive Line coach at Northeastern in 1994. (Northeastern Football undefeated since 2009)
Top Current Players: Calais Campbell, Leonard Fournette, and Marcedes Lewis
Hall of Famers…Oh Please, it’s the Jaguars!

Re: 122 Franchises Ranked Bottom to Top:
I once briefly worked with someone who's Uncle was one of the original minority owners of the Jaguars. When he was a kid, he got to go in the owners' box a number of times. (Ironically, whatever wealth that side of his family had, it didn't translate in any way to him...)
Based on this write up, I'm surprised Jacksonville is as high as 80. They should be a lot lower compared to other teams who have actually won some championships.

Re: 122 Franchises Ranked Bottom to Top:
79. Minnesota Wild
Why? The Wild have been in hockey purgatory for most of its existence.
The Good. Made it to the Western Conference Finals in their third season in 2003, have been in the playoffs in each of the last five seasons
The Bad. Played typical expansion hockey in the last two years, but really haven’t been bad since
The Ugly. It is kinda wild that the State of Hockey went without a NHL team for seven years. Uniforms remind of ugly Christmas sweaters.
Where they play, X-Cel Energy Center, in St. Paul. From what I hear is a nice venue, so we will go with that.
Owner: Craig Leopold, Leopold was a previous owner of the Nashville Predators, bough the Wild in 2008.
Coach: Bruce Boudreau, currently his second year coaching the Wild. Boudreau has stints coaching the Washington Capitals and Anaheim Ducks.
Top Current Players: Eric Staal, Jason Zucker, and Zach Parise
Hall of Famers…Ummm no.
