Pardon the photo. I needed one with all 4 major trophies -- The Commissioner's Trophy (MLB), the Vince Lombardi Trophy (NFL), the Larry O'Brien Trophy (NBA) and the Stanley Cup (NHL) -- all together. I only found 2, and 1 was distorted, showing them elongated, too long and too thin. This one was fine, even though it's at Fenway Park. (You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.)

No Arena Football. No American Football League other than the one of the 1960s that formed the bulk of today's AFC. No indoor soccer. No U.S. Open Cup soccer finals. Professional titles only: No college football, basketball, baseball or hockey titles. No neutral-site hostings, such as Super Bowls, Final Fours, Olympics or World Cups.

When a final featured 2 teams from the same metropolitan area, I list it twice.
