Eagles/Dodgers Final Round Notes

2024 was the fourth year that both the Eagles and Dodgers (twice each as Brooklyn and Los Angeles), made the respective NFL and baseball final round entities.

It also was/is the first time both teams won the title.

Once before, (1947) both lost, the Eagles to the lone Cardinals’ (then in Chicago, since in St. Louis and now in Arizona) title and the Dodgers to the eleventh of the Yankees sports record 27 titles.

Twice in both ’49 and 2017, the Eagles won the crown while the Dodgers lost in their final round entity

.Both Charley Trippi, who lived to 101 plus years and is pictured above, and Elmer Angsman, recorded 2 long TD plays apiece as the Cardinals won (28-21) at their Chicago home vs the Eagles in the 1947 NFL title game.
