The Xplosion are a member of the Continental Basketball Association. The Spirit, as far as I can tell from some brief internet research, were a major league soccer team based in the City of Champions in the early 80's. <BR/><BR/>Either way, with the Pens winning, I don't think that 'Burghers have any real desire for a fourth major professional sports team. And they can get their hoops fix from Pitt.Chris Peakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459990969054956222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-60360355305808256602007-04-02T17:55:00.000-04:002007-04-02T17:55:00.000-04:00In fairness, Pittsburgh currently has a profession...In fairness, Pittsburgh currently has a professional basketball team on some lesser circuit, the Spirit.
