NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — On Tuesday or Wednesday night, either the Cleveland Indians or Chicago Cubs will end one of the longest title droughts in professional sports.
For the Indians, they last won a world title in 1948. Cubs fans, meanwhile, have been waiting since 1908.
The nine major pro sports in the New York/New Jersey area haven’t had it quite as bad as the Indians and Cubs, but they’ve all experienced varying degrees of their own droughts. Here is a look at the longest each franchise has seen.
DEVILS: 14 years and counting (2003-present)
Technically, it took the franchise 21 years to win its first title, but some of those years came when the team was known as the Kansas City Scouts and Colorado Rockies.
