Chicago, Cleveland and Sports Titles or Lack Thereof

One day after the Cleveland Cavaliers were denied in the NBA Finals by the Golden State Warriors extending the nearly 51 year title drought for Cleveland, the Chicago Cubs embarrassed the Cleveland Indians (17-0) in a baseball game in Cleveland.

The Cubs surely know about title droughts as no team has gone longer without a title than the Cubs, who last won the World Series in 1908. The Indians are the baseball team with the next longest drought, last winning the World Series in 1948. It was only one game, but Chicago which is celebrating another Blackhawks Stanley Cup with a parade and rally, has won 11 titles during the current nearly 51 year Cleveland title drought.
