Winningest Sports Towns

Apropos of nothing, but this is kind of cool. The Toronto Star compiles the data for all American and Canadian cities with more than two sports teams, and looks at their records.

#1?

Indianapolis, on the strength of the Colts and the Pacers. Boston comes in at #2. Pittsburgh, interestingly, finishes just a hair behind New York City, 13th and 12th respectively.

Kansas City is second to last in 36th place (just ahead of last-place finisher, Cincinnati).

  1. The criteria for inclusion of teams is baffling. Apparently CFL football–a de facto league for NFL castoffs–counts the same as any major sport. Meanwhile, your city doesn’t LOSE points for failure so comprehensive as to force a pro sports team to actually flee the city–as has happened in top-10 locales Montreal and Vancouver.
