CITY OF CHAMPIONS

3 ALL AT THE SAME TIME

When it comes to NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL titles, Philadelphia may not have the most - but we are up there.

However, Philly has had 6 different teams who won multiple titles. [See above] Only New York has had more. Of course, they have had many more teams too.

But here is a question - has there ever been a city with 3 (three) reigning champions (NFL, MLB, NBA, or NHL) all at the same time?

Turns out there has.  And if you can guess that city, you're good.

HINT: It is NOT New York, LA, Chicago, or Boston!

Scroll down for the answer.

The city was Detroit! From April 11, 1936 to October 6, 1936, the Lions, Red Wings, and Tigers were all reigning champions of their respective sports.

No city before or since has matched Detroit's feat.
