Today, it is Jim Harbaugh at $16 million per year. His Super Bowl-winning brother John makes $12 million.

BTW, there are a lot of coaches who make between $10 mms. and $16 mms. per year that have won a single championship in a lengthy career; e.g., Doc Rivers, Tyronn Lue.

Harbaugh won a national championship at Michigan. . . .

Name the cities that have had both a Super Bowl champion and a World Series champion since 1999.

[I'm looking for the main city with which the team is identified. For example, the Texas Rangers would be a Dallas team even though they don't actually play in Dallas and don't have Dallas in the team's name.]

Boston and LA for sure.

I think the Red Sox and Patriots won it the same year. I think...

All correct! Boston, Los Angeles, Kansas City, and Philadelphia all have had a Super Bowl champion and a World Series champion since 1999.

There are two more correct responses.

Bonus points to Mick for remembering that Boston had a Super Bowl champion and a World Series champion in the same year. In fact, it happened twice, with both Boston teams winning championships in the 2004 and 2018 seasons.

That 2004 team had a lot of Giant connections. Bill Mueller was their starting 3B, and easily their worst starter was RF and future Giant manager Gabe Kapler (0.1 WAR in 138 games, and that's hard to do). Also on that team were Ellis Burks, former 1st round draft pick Adam Hyzdu, Dave Roberts, Dave McCarty, Doug Mirabelli, Orlando Cabrera, Keith Foulke and Alan Embree. All future or former Giants.

St. Louis is right, Bob.

That makes 5 correct answers. There's one more.

RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - BostonCard - 03-05-2025

Inspired by Terry’s question. Only one city has ever been in the finals of all four major sports championships (NFL Super Bowl, MLB World Series, NBA championship and NHL Stanley Cup finLs) in the same year. What city was it? What year?

BC

Bonus question: one city only has franchises in three of the four major sports, but its three teams were all in the finals the same year. What city and year?

BC

RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - BobK - 03-05-2025

4 championships
If Foxboro is part of Boston then Boston. Or Chicago

Not since the Pittsburgh Ironmen in the 1947/48 season...they folded after a year. I was conflating it with another question.."Which city has all major sports teams the same color palette?" The Penguins, Steelers and Pirates are all some version of gold and black.

I think that's true of the Mets, Islanders and Rangers, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

Pittsburgh had a pro basketball team, the Pythons. They even made a movie about them in 1979 called "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh".








Just kidding, LOL!!!

I suppose someone who goes by the name of PASportsFan should be expected to know that the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, and 76ers all reached their respective sports final in the 1980 season (the Superbowl was in 1981, but it was considered the 1980 season).  Only one of the four won a title, though.  Which?

Still to be answered: which team was recently in three major sports finals (winning two)?  Three hints; it was fairly recently (post 2010) and it was a city that surprised me.  The city has MLB, NHL, and NFL franchises. No NBA.
