Hey, if that's the case, then my Cubbies have had championships since 1904 as well. There's the NL East Division Championships in 1984 and 1989, and the NL Central Championship in 2003.

So I guess maybe Thorpe didn't win any baseball championships. But since he won Olympic medals in track and field, which includes the shot put (a very heavy ball, by the way), doesn't the Olympics count as pro sports?
