13 finals in 13 years for Boston's major sports teams

The Patriots won their first Super Bowl on February 3, 2002.  They'll attempt to win their fourth on February 1, 2015, just under 13 years later.  It's been a pretty solid run for the Boston area sports teams in that span:

For the 13th time in 13 years one of the four major New England sports teams is headed to a championship game.
