Esoteric Baseball Then Football Title Notes

No matter who won the 60th Supe, the Dodgers, in the beyond esoteric category of different teams that won NFL crowns in years they won the World Series, were to have an eighth such a high percentage considering they have 9 W.S. titles.

They are second in the again beyond esoteric category to of course the Yankees whose 27 titles, all but the 4 in the Babe Ruth time, occurring in years with an NFL title game.

The Dodgers’ ’81 and ’88 crowns were followed in the sports calendar by S.F. 49ers titles. The other 7 Dodgers titles were followed by 7 different NFL champions (in chronological order the Browns, Colts, Bears, Packers, Buccaneers, Eagles and Seahawks).

Now for the as we will follow NFL protocol, if that is the word and call the Ravens and old Browns different franchises which I do not quite buy and likely never will, 15 different teams won NFL titles following a Yankees W.S. such.

In chronological order–(Packers, Wash, Giants, Bears, Cardinals then in Chicago and that franchise’s lone title, Eagles, Browns of “Automatic” Otto Graham, Rams, Lions, Colts, Cowboys, Steelers, Broncos, Ravens, Saints).

The great Sid Luckman, pictured below, played on the ’41 and ’43 Bears’ title teams that followed Yankees’ World Series wins.
