Imagine if the championships in the NFL NBA MLB & NHL were defended like a Boxing World Title.
If we were to go all the way back to the very first champion crowned in each league, and mapped every single "title loss" (simply when a champion lost their next game after becoming champion and a "new champ" was crowned) all the way to today, who would the current "lineal champions" of each sport be?
Caveat - if a reigning champion folded/became defunct (not moved) without losing, I defaulted to the next closest season's champion.
We started all the way back to the very first championship crowned - in the NFL for example, for this exercise the 1920 Akron Pros would be the first "lineal champion"
So here are the current lineal champions:
NFL: Houston Texans (won Oct 18 in London vs Jacksonville). 599 total title changes
NBA: Philadelphia 76ers (won Oct 20 at MSG vs the Knicks). 3,206 total title changes
MLB: Minnesota Twins (won Sep 27 by beating Texas). 9,324 total title changes
NHL: Dallas Stars (won Oct 17 beating Chicago). 3,542 total title changes

Yesterday, I was at the airport watching @itsvedatime just feeling proud and amazed at how they are incredible in every role.
Congrats to everyone on the amazing show! #MLPNorthernRising
Saturday night at Maple Leaf Gardens felt like a love letter to Canadian professional wrestling. @MapleLeafPW brought history and legacy and blended it seamlessly with present and future. In “Canada’s Most Famous Arena”, where World Champions have been crowned across decades, we saw the best that Canada has to offer, coast to coast, put on one of the best shows of the year from top to bottom. Almost every province was represented in the ring & crew, spanning generations of talent. Two of the greatest Canadians wrestling today, @Walking_Weapon @stu_dos battled for the Canadian title. The most decorated wrestler in history @RatedRCope brought the house down with his own love letter to the Gardens, where he first fell in love with wrestling. His opponent @SteveMaclin was incredible, decked in 🇺🇸 (but still using the most Canadian weapon possible, a goalie mask). This event made you proud of Canadian wrestlers and the 🇨🇦 scene. This was the kind of event you could only dream about back in the day. I was absolutely honored and humbled to play a small part. To @ScottDAmore (one of Canada’s great wrestling figures & leaders), the men and women on the roster, and the entire crew… THANK YOU. What a night. It is written in the history books in Canadian history. Pure magic that thousands took home with them. Doncha dare miss it… we certainly didn’t. 🇨🇦
