Is the Chicago Cubs' victory after 108 years (1908 to 2016) the longest drought between a team's two titles in North American major sports leagues (NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB)?

4At 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 ♦Commented Nov 3, 2016 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)?"– user527Commented Nov 3, 2016 at 12:58
