From time to time I like to check and see what teams have waited the longest for a title in their sport. If any team I normally pull for is out of it, I tend to root for whoever is highest on these lists to have their ship come in. If you are similarly inclined, you will find these lists useful. It’s all the teams in MLB, the NFL, the NBA and the NHL ranked by how long they’ve been waiting to win or win again. The year given is when their franchise last won the championship or, if they haven’t, when they were founded. Note: the NFL considered the current Cleveland Browns as a continuation of the original Cleveland Browns franchise and the Baltimore Ravens as a ‘new’ franchise, even though they had been the original Browns. The Ravens thus last won in 2012 and the Browns in 1964. The Charlotte Hornets of the NBA and the New Orleans Pelicans, (who had been the Charlotte Hornets), have the same consideration. 
I have noted when the franchise represented more than one city in their drought. If a franchise has never won the date is the date of their founding, which I have put in parenthesis.
