A Reminder of a Bitter Past: Colts Residency in Indiana Eclipses Stay in Baltimore

Well my fellow Baltimore fans, and in particular, residents of Baltimore, it's a bittersweet day for us. As our superb (seriously, they're a great site) sister blog Stampede Blue reported yesterday, June 3rd marks the day that the Colts franchise has officially been in Indianapolis longer than Baltimore. Curious how that all adds up? Well the Baltimore Colts were in existence from January 23, 1953 to March 29, 1984, when they infamously left in the middle of night to flee Maryland jurisdiction. (more on that later) Their tenure in the 'Charm City' lasted 11,388 days.
