1978. That was the year of the last Triple Crown winner before American Pharoah pulled off the feat this afternoon. Lots of folks never thought they’d live to see a horse win the Triple Crown, but it happened.

While we’re on the subject of stuff some people think they’ll never live to see…1978 was one year after the last time the Minnesota Vikings appeared in the Super Bowl.
Watching American Pharoah pull off the seemingly impossible feat of winning a Triple Crown made a lot of Viking fans think the same thing. Could this be the year? It’s only logical…
@titus_stenberg 37 years is nothing. After 55 years the Vikings will win SB50
