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:

New York is rocking with 88 champ banners

These are just Finals appearances. That cities actual title count is I believe 59. : 35 in baseball, 11 in hockey(the city's total includes the entire area, so "New Jersey" is included), 9 in football, 4 in basketball.

Typing is nothing. Compiling data is more interesting.
