Glory In Gold - The Story Behind The San Francisco 49ers

Put the power in the Metal. This is a very strong statement. Metal is a pillar of strength in various ways. When we say metal music, it is nothing that is made for the weak. It is something which can enable the strongest thoughts and even the inner demons in any person. When we say metal in construction, it supports and serves as the base the structure. And of these various metals, Gold is one of the most precious metals out there. It serves as one of the best conductors when made in to wires and is flexible enough to be turned in to the most amazing pieces of jewelry that may me bought for the right amount of price. And if you are keen with your mining and gold history, there is no way that you would not know the Gold Rush that happened in California mostly during the 19th Century. And the prospectors of this Californian Gold Rush were called the "49ers". They were able to make a killing with the gold they were able to obtain during that period of time. It would be written in history books forever as one of the "Golden Times".

It seems that the next set of "49ers" were in search for a different set of gold afterwards. No, we are not talking about miners this time. We are talking about one of the greatest Football teams in the history of the National Football League (NFL). This would be no other than the San Francisco 49ers. This team is the first of the only three teams in the league who have been able to win the Super Bowl for 5 times. The 49ers also hold the record as the only team who has been made multiple appearances in the Super Bowl and yet remain undefeated with a record of 5-0. With popular names such as Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, Steve Young, and Jerry Rice, it would be no surprise that this team was able to win all of those championships. These players, during their stay with the franchise, were not only able to win those victories, but made history happen and revolutionized the way football was played. Plays such as "the Catch" became the dream of every football kid to be able to deliver and run down to that touch down line. It also increased the number of sales of the football jerseys of the San Francisco 49ers sell like pancakes! Every fan and person who wanted to look cool just had to get one of their jerseys!

Indeed "gold" is found in many forms and sizes. Sometimes, when people say they have found gold, it may be something other than the metal. Sometimes, it may be another form of priceless possession which only the owner could appreciate and drive for. For this San Francisco based team, gold equaled to the super bowl victories and the history they are able to make. What about you, what is the gold you want to run after?
