Last Title by Team, Fall 2013
-
After the Red Sox win in the World Series, here is the list of all 124? current major league franchises in the 4 major sports with the last year in which that team won a title, or the year the franchise was created if they have never won a title (noted as YO for Year of Origin). I have included the Seattle Supersonics as a separate franchise from the OK City Thunder as the Sonics are supposed to be simply an "inactive" franchise, not a defunct franchise or the same as the Thunder franchise.

Towns with various teams that have been in existance that have not won a title since 1970 or earlier:
Chicago: Cubs
Sacramento: Kings #
Detroit: Lions
Philadelphia: Eagles
Dallas: Rangers
Minn./St. Paul: Vikings
Nashville (Tenn): Titans#
Houston: Astros
St. Louis: Blues
Denver: Nuggets
Toronto: Maple Leafs
Cincinnati: Bengals
New York: Jets
Washington: Nationals#
Milwaukee: Brewers (note: Bucks not since 1971)
Kansas City: Chiefs
LA: Clippers#
Vancouver: Canucks
Phoenix: Suns, Cardinals#
San Diego: Chargers, Padres
Buffalo: Bills, Sabre
Atlanta: Hawks, Falcons
Cleveland: Browns, Indians, Cavaliers
# means team moved to that city from elsewhere
Of course Cleveland has the most teams on this list. And note the inequity in this for example:
New York/NJ has had the following teams all win titles since 1970: Yankees, Mets, Giants, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Devils, Islanders
LA/Anaheim has had the following teams all win titles since 1970: Dodgers, Angels, Lakers, Ducks, Kings, even the Raiders who have since moved.
Boston has had all four of its teams win titles just in the last decade.
Even Pissburg has had all three of its teams win titles since 1970.
So, the obvious conclusion to be made from this: Cleveland has the best, most loyal fan base in America for its sports teams. Fair to say?

If most frustrated/ tortured = best... then, yes...
It's not just the time that's passed...
It's the times we have gotten close... in each of our three major league sports.
And don't get me started on the Crusaders/ Barons...

Those Cleveland NHL teams were never given an opportunity to succeed, were they? Either moved or contracted in their first couple of years here before they even got going.
