All 3 Boston teams winning the championship??

[MEbenhoe]

A very close one is New York Jets winning the super bowl in January 1969, the Mets winning the World Series in 69, and then the Knicks winning the championship for the 69-70 season.

Another close call:

Baltimore Orioles 1970 World Series Champs

Baltimore Colts win Super Bowl January 1971

Baltimore Bullets get swept in the finals by the Bucks in 1970-71 season

[BobboFitos]

its been done before, but only by cities with 1 team (so its not real) ie. the florida marlins, san antonio spurs, etc etc.

Another Interesting one:

Los Angeles Dodgers 1981 World Series Champs
Oakland Raiders January 1981 Super Bowl Champs
Los Angeles Lakers 1981-82 NBA Champs

2001 yankees giants devils - all lost

then the nets lost in 2002.

believe that in 1980 philadelphia was pretty close to doing this also - eagles lost the super bowl, flyers lost the stanley cup, 76ers lost in the NBA finals, but the phillies won

[Assani Fisher]

I'd put the true odds at:

Celtics: 22-1
Red Sox: 6.5-1
Pats: 8-1

EDIT: but it was nearly done in 1986 with Boston - the Celtics romped, the Red Sox gagged, and the Patriots got pummeled in the SB. So there's an example of them at least making it to the championship game.

Except that leaves out the Bruins. In 1980 all 4 Philly teams went to the championship game/series. Only the Phillies walked away with hardware though.

Why even bother posting this? Especially given that the Marlins are a Miami team, so they have the three majors covered.

Except no one cares about hockey, and the title of this thread alludes to baseball, football, and basketball. Cool factoid about Philly, though.

Donkey,

Not that I'm a hockey fan at all, but Bruins attendance > Ducks attendance. What's going on in Boston with its hockey fans isn't all that uncommon across the NHL. It also has some of the worst management, further alienating fans.
