Excited that Seattle is going to have a Hawks champioship, a M's championship, and a Sounde..no, I can't even pretend to care about that one

That made me think about cities that boasted champions in different sports at the same time. He also referred to Seattle Sounders MLS club, and while they are quite popular there and I enjoyed the World Cup very much, I'll stick to the big four MLB/NFL/NBA/NHL championship rounds...
It's ludicrously early to start planning a World Series parade down 4th Avenue, but with the Seahawks Super Bowl win in February, the Mariners hope to make Seattle the fourth city to win a Super Bowl and World Series in the same calendar year. The others are:
1969 New York - Jets and Mets
1979 Pittsburgh - Steelers and Pirates
2004 Boston - Patriots and Red Sox
There have been 14 instances of a city having their football team play in the Super Bowl to start the year, then have another team make the NBA Finals, Stanley Cup Final or World Series later that year. In addition to the three pairs listed above, Pittsburgh had the Steelers and Penguins win titles in 2009.
| 1969 New York | Jets d. Colts 16-7 in Super Bowl III | Won NFL |
| Mets d. Orioles 4-1 in World Series | Won MLB | |
| 1969 Baltimore | Jets d. Colts 16-7 in Super Bowl III | Lost NFL |
| Mets d. Orioles 4-1 in World Series | Lost MLB | |
| 1971 Baltimore | Colts d. Cowboys 16-13 in Super Bowl V | Won NFL |
| Pirates d. Orioles 4-3 in World Series | Lost MLB | |
| 1979 Pittsburgh | Steelers d. Cowboys 35-31 in Super Bowl XIII | Won NFL |
| Pirates d. Orioles 4-3 in World Series | Won MLB | |
| 1980 Los Angeles | Steelers d. Rams 31-19 in Super Bowl XIV | Lost NFL |
| Lakers d. 76ers 4-2 in NBA Finals | Won NBA | |
| 1984 Los Angeles | Raiders d. Washington 38-9 in Super Bowl XVIII | Won NFL |
| Celtics d. Lakers 4-3 in NBA Finals | Lost NBA | |
| 1986 Boston | Bears d. Patriots 46-10 in Super Bowl XX | Lost NFL |
| Celtics d. Rockets 4-2 in NBA Finals | Won NBA | |
| Mets d. Red Sox 4-3 in World Series | Lost MLB | |
| 1989 San Francisco | 49ers d. Bengals 20-16 in Super Bowl XXIII | Won NFL |
| Athletics d. Giants 4-0 in World Series | Lost MLB | |
| 1999 Atlanta | Broncos d. Falcons 34-19 in Super Bowl XXXIII | Lost NFL |
| Yankees d. Braves 4-0 in World Series | Lost MLB | |
| 2001 New York | Ravens d. Giants 34-7 in Super Bowl XXXV | Lost NFL |
| Avalanche d. Devils 4-3 in Stanley Cup Final | Lost NHL | |
| Diamondbacks d. Yankees 4-3 in World Series | Lost MLB | |
| 2004 Boston | Patriots d. Panthers 32-29 in Super Bowl XXXVIII | Won NFL |
| Red Sox d. Cardinals 4-0 in World Series | Won MLB | |
| 2008 Boston | Giants d. Patriots 17-14 in Super Bowl XLII | Lost NFL |
| Celtics d. Lakers 4-2 in NBA Finals | Won NBA | |
| 2009 Pittsburgh | Steelers d. Cardinals 27-23 in Super Bowl XLIII | Won NFL |
| Penguins d. Red Wings 4-3 in Stanley Cup Final | Won NHL | |
| 2012 New York | Giants d. Patriots 21-17 in Super Bowl XLVI | Won NFL |
| Kings d. Devils 4-2 in Stanley Cup Final | Lost NHL |
Below is the complete list of cities with multiple finalists, with NFL champions marked by their championship season, not the year in which they won the Super Bowl. For example, the Seahawks won the title in 2014, but since the season was played prior to the new year, they are regarded as the 2013 NFL champs. I also looked at earlier leagues such as the ABA, AAFC AFL, USFL and WHA.
| 1928 New York | Rangers d. Maroons 3-2 in Stanley Cup Final | Won NHL |
| Yankees d. Cardinals 4-0 in World Series | Won MLB | |
| 1932 New York | Maple Leafs d. Rangers 3-0 in Stanley Cup Final | Lost NHL |

The cities to win titles in different sports in the same season are:
1928 New York - Rangers and Yankees (NHL/MLB) (1)
1933 New York - Rangers and Giants (NHL/MLB) (2)
1935 Detroit - Tigers and Lions (NHL/NFL) (1)
1938 New York - Yankees and Giants (MLB/NFL) (1)
1948 Cleveland - Indians and Browns (MLB/NFL*) (2)
1952 Detroit - Red Wings and Lions (NHL/NFL) (2)
1956 New York - Yankees and Giants (MLB/NFL) (3)
1970 Baltimore - Orioles and Colts (MLB/NFL) (4)
1979 Pittsburgh - Pirates and Steelers (MLB/NFL) (5)
1986 New York - Mets and Giants(MLB/NFL) (6)
1988 Los Angeles - Lakers and Dodgers (NBA/MLB) (1)
2000 New York - Devils and Yankees (NHL/MLB) (3)
2004 Boston - Red Sox and Patriots (MLB/NFL) (7)
If the Dodgers win it all in October, they and the Kings would make L.A. the fourth entry (and first non-New York one) on the NHL/MLB champion list. The first three pairs are the 1928 Rangers and Yankees, the 1933 Rangers and Giants and the 2000 Devils and Yankees.
