The NFL Baltimore Ravens are named after Poe's poem 'The Raven.' The connection between the team and the poem comes about because Poe had lived for a while in Baltimore, he died there, and he is buried there. Until 2008, the team also had three mascots named "Edgar," "Allan," and "Poe." In 2009, "Edgar" and "Allan" were replaced by two real live ravens named "Rise" and "Conquer," and "Poe" is still the team's other mascot.
Edgar Allan Poe's foster parents, John and Frances Allan, had no children of their own when they took Poe into their family, and they had no other children while Poe lived with them.

Edgar at the age of three lost his mother who died of consumption, and his biological father (a professional actor) deserted him and then died about a year later. Edgar was then raised by the Allan family, but never legally adopted. Still ,he was treated - at least at first - as a family member.
