I wish all visitors a Happy Lunar New Year!
Since trivia visitors seem to make up quite a bit of my visitors this week, I should note, building on an earlier post, that there are now 4 seasons in which a city has won both the World Series and Superbowl:
- 2004 season: Sox and Pats
- 1986 season: New York Mets (ugh) and Giants
- 1979 season: Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers
- 1970 season: Baltimore Orioles and Colts
This is as opposed to winning in the same calendar year, which has been done 3-4 times (1969, 1979, 1989, and 2004 - depends on whether you count 49ers and As in 1989 as coming from the same metropolitan area).
