Follow Up World series/NFL Same Year Title Winners

The Yankees/Packers combination has by far, the most same year titles (5)– (’36,’39, ’61,’62 and ’96).

Four of the Yankees’ W.S. crowns, one less than the Athletics then in Philadelphia and twice producing an era of greatness, and Red Sox also a team of greatness certainly from 1912-1918 when they won the World Series four times, thrice with a pitcher named Babe Ruth, occurred in seasons/years before the first NFL title game was played in 1933.

As cited, 15 different teams won NFL crowns after the Yankees won the W.S. in that year. Four NFL teams have won the title twice after the Yankees won it all that season. (the same town Giants in ’38 and ’56, Bears in ’41 and ’43, Lions in ’52 and ’53 and Rams in ’51 and ’99).

Twenty of the NFL’s 32 franchises have won its title, add the Patriots who did it twice (’04 and ’18) and Seahawks in ’13 with NFL titles after the Red Sox won the World Series.

Remember the Niners of S.F. twice (’81 and ’88) and Buccaneers in Covid affected 2020 followed Dodgers’ crowns with a Supe win.

Finally the only two Dolphins’ titles came in ’72 and ’73 after the Oakland Athletics won the first two of three consecutive World Series titles. Both teams rank among the all-time greats in their leagues/sports.

Since I separate the old, glorious and most times, great old Cleveland Browns from the current expansion team, a 21st team/franchise, the Jets won their lone title in ’68 following the recently deceased, great, shamefully not in the so diminished “Hall,” Mickey Lolich led Tigers World Series title.

The great Reggie Jackson, pictured below, played in 6 World Series–his teams won 5 and twice each, the Steelers, still tied with the Patriots with 6 Supe wins and note they are/were (6-2) in such games while N.E. has fallen to (6-6), —-and Dolphins won that year’s Supe. The other, Dallas which has 5 Supe wins but nary even a semis appearance since ’95, won the other time a Jackson team “titled.”
