Here Are the Longest Championship Droughts in the Four Major North American Sports

With the Rangers winning their first ever World Series title on Wednesday night, they have finally ended one of the worst championship droughts in all of sports. Alas, there are a rare few amount of teams that have yet to win a title in their respective sport, though. 

Texas finally won it all for the first time in its 62-year history but, surprisingly, there are still several teams who are currently in the midst of longer championship droughts. Here’s a look at the five worst title droughts in the four major North American Sports. Spoiler: the NHL avoided the list with their longest title drought coming from the Maple Leafs at 56 years. 

The Texas Rangers captured the first World Series championship in the 62-year history of the franchise on Wednesday night.
