All-time rankings of North American major league sports teams, as of Super Bowl LVII. This includes:
* Baseball: National Association titles, 1871-75; National League titles, 1876-81 and 1892-1902; postseason series between the NL and American Association Champions, 1882-91; and World Series wins, 1903-2022.
* Football: NFL Championships, 1920-1965; and Super Bowl wins, 1967-2023, for the seasons of 1966-2022. An NFL Championship win before Super Bowl I counts just as much as a Super Bowl win.
* Basketball: NBA Championships, 1947-2022.
* Hockey: Stanley Cup wins, 1893-2022.
* Only titles won by current teams are included.
* Not included: The WNBA, soccer, and "rebel leagues" like the various AFLs, the ABA and the WHA.
* Titles won in previous cities/metro areas are not counted. For example, the Los Angeles Dodgers cannot count the 1955 World Series won by the Brooklyn Dodgers.
* However, name changes -- such as Cleveland Indians to Guardians, Washington Redskins to Commanders, and Washington Bullets to Wizards -- can include all titles won in that metro area.
* Ties broken by most recent.

Something to note about the SB game, both the MVP jinx and the passing yards title curse ended the same night. I wonder if you could do a post talking about the latter considering how it lasted for over 60 years to the point it even ended the Eagles' title drought 5 years ago.
