    I figured this might be fun considering all the different cities on the board.

    What are the oldest and newest professional (not semi-pro) franchises in your city. The teams have to still be active and playing.

    Toronto
    Oldest: the Argonauts football club (1873)

    Newest:
    Toronto FC (2007)

    Your going to have to level it down to semi-pro
    90% of the guys here probably won't have a team in their city, pro-wise
