Trivia: LA vs. Miami - BostonCard - 09-30-2020
Today is the first game of the NBA finals between the Lakers and the Heat, so today's trivia question is when was the last time that Miami and LA faced each other in the finals of a major sports league (MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA, WNBA, MLS) final?

Miami Florida? Ohio? Arizona?

I'm going to guess MLS or WNBA because I can't think of an example in any of the others.

That's because the Lakers/Heat series is the first meeting between LA and Miami (Florida) in the finals of a major sports league.

Follow-up question. Which pair of cities is the only pair of cities to have met in the finals of each of the traditional four (MLB, NFL, NHL, and NBA) finals? They have met an incredible 11 times across the four major leagues.
Hint: Don't limit yourself to cities that currently have a team in all four leagues, as one of the cities has lost teams to moves.

You get 50% Bobbbbb. Why don't you expand your answer. And give the year.

A guess 1979.
An another question. The St Louis Browns relocated from what city. Yes from ?
RE: Trivia: LA vs. Miami - terry - 10-01-2020
I don't remember an Atlanta Braves vs. Oakland A's World Series.
Was it the Boston Braves vs. the Philadelphia Athletics? Some time before 1920?
RE: Trivia: LA vs. Miami - BobK - 10-01-2020
Baltimore Vs A’s. 1974
RE: Trivia: LA vs. Miami - Phogge - 10-01-2020
Yes Terry, 1914. The Miracle Braves vs Connie Mack.
The Browns relocated to Baltimore in 1954.
RE: Trivia: LA vs. Miami - BobK - 10-01-2020
The St. Louis Browns relocated from Milwaukee in 1901.

Bobbb, look at the question. None of the Browns/Orioles opponents in the WS were a twice relocated team. I asked for two twice located teams in a Series and Terry got it. 1914 Philadelphia A’s vs. Boston Braves.
