It is a cumulative total for each town in that decade for the 4 major sports. Just a few notes: Baseball goes back to the 1900. Hockey goes back to 1917.

Typing is nothing. Compiling data is more interesting.

OK, not sure how one can mispell the word "by". But I did.

On a related note, and since it was brought up. Here are the titles won by each town/region in each sport. I am including in here some pre-NHL Stanley Cup winners, plus towns in other sports that won a title, so there are several towns that currently no longer have teams. This also includes titles won in the NFL/AFL/AAFC/MLB/NBA/ABA/NHL/WHL (or was that WHA). I also include any cities current with a team, although that town may have never won a title:
