Football / Baseball Co-Champions

[Demented Avenger]

If the Pats win, it will have been a pretty good year for Massachusetts (except the whole election thing). Does anybody know how often a baseball and football team from the same general area have both won their respective championships?

The only one I can think of offhand was the A's and niners back in '89.

There's also an outside shot at the Celtics making a magical run in the post-season this year. They could end up with the 3 seed where they are playing.

Steelers/Pirates in '79

During the City of Champions years. Only if baseball wasnt so messed up now...

I think the Mets, Jets, and Knicks all won in 1969.

Don't forget Seattle in......oh wait only the Sonics have ever won anything.

BOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Boo Red Sox, Boo patriots, Boo Kerry, Boo Celtics.

Wow... I don't even dislike Boston. I guess I'm just not a fan of whatever comes out of there...

yea the only thing that has made the elections bareble for me was the sox win 2 weeks earlier and the ongoing success of the patriots. otherwise it would've been a very depressing fall. oh well maybe bush will screw up royally w/ his social security agenda (ie clintons & health care in the 90's) and the dems will get some seats back in the midterm elections.
ok way too much politics for a football post.

GO PATS!!!! SB CHAMPS XXXVI XXXVIII XXXIX
