Chicago victory after 108 years (1908 to 2016) is the longest pause between two titles considering the major American sportleagues (NBA-NFL-NHL-MLB)?

3At the moment, this almost has to be the record as none of the NBA, NFL nor NHL have been going for 108 years. – Philip Kendall♦ Nov 3 '16 at 10:15
The longest all-time droughts in each league are:
- MLB: Chicago Cubs - 108 seasons
- NHL: Toronto Maple Leafs - 48 seasons*
- NBA: Sacramento Kings - 65 seasons*
- NFL: Arizona Cardinals - 68 seasons*
*active
Moreover, in the MLB, the White Sox (87 seasons), Red Sox (86 seasons), Phillies (77 seasons), and the Indians (68 seasons) had/have as long of a drought or longer than teams in other leagues.

1@JoeTaras If that were asked about, sure. "Chicago victory after 108 years (1908 to 2016) is the longest pause between two titles considering the major American sportleagues (NBA-NFL-NHL-MLB)?" – user527 Nov 3 '16 at 12:58

Yes, but MLS President tells soccer is growing more and more. I've already upvoted your answer (very correct) – Joe Taras Nov 3 '16 at 12:59

1@JoeTaras That's great to hear. That still doesn't make it part of the question asked. (Thanks for the upvote...upvoted your comment for awareness). – user527 Nov 3 '16 at 13:00
