Reply to comment by SaggyFrontButt2 in [OC] North American cities by number of major sports championships (Updated December 2022) by twintig5

Bruh. The guys that played pre-67 in all sport very literally built everything everyone else played on you doofus. Discounting their play because they wouldn't compete with the hyperfocused athletes of the modern world is silly. The only reason they can focus on the sport is because of those guys.

Soccer is another story.

Should we include the American Association championships from pre-1901 NL/AL World Series? Those aren’t on here.

How about pre-1917 NHA Stanley cup championships? Those aren’t on here either.

Many cities would look different on the chart

I don't see why not for the NHA except its focused on even less cities than the original 6. It's not that many extra championships tho, so whatever.

I'm actually confused why they don't include 19th century baseball in the annals of baseball stats. Maybe they will do that to 20th century baseball as we get closer to the 21st century. I hope not.
