With LA Sports thriving right now, what has been the best year for the city in their storied history?

By the end of Saturday evening the sports landscape in Southern California seemed to ramp up overnight, sports fans who for many months didn’t get watch live sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic must have felt like it was Christmas in August.

During the day LAFC and the LA Galaxy re-started their MLS regular season facing off at Banc of California Stadium, while the Los Angeles Dodgers were reigning over the National League West with a walk-off home run, and the Los Angeles Lakers were asserting their control over their first playoff series since 2013.

With the Lakers, Clippers, and Dodgers all in position to bring home a title, this strange and terrible year could be filled with championship rings. If that happens it could turn out as a great sports year in Southern California.

The possibilities do bring up the question, what were the greatest years in Southern California sports.
