Keeping Score: Boston Still Wins
While the Boston area is reeling over the Patriots second loss in their last two Super Bowl appearances, they still have a huge lead in championships over the last ten years. A decade is about the length of time that that people can still find solace in their championships. Boston has had six; not a bad decade. Here are the rankings.
Boston: 6

A couple of notes: Anaheim could be combined with Los Angeles. However, Los Angeles does not claim these teams in their identity. They might include them now, since the Angles have changed their name to include Los Angeles and added the greatest player in the game. The same thing could be said for the Devils and New York. New York only seems to claim the East Rutherford teams (named the Giants and the Jets). Additionally, there have been 39 championships in the past decade because the NHL had no champion in 2005, due to the lockout
Additionally, a lot of cities did not make the rankings at all with a team winning a championship. There are 12 cities with all four sports. Of these cities four cities have no championships in the last ten years: Denver, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Phoenix and Washington D.C.
