Obscure sports trivia

Low hanging fruit: Belichick and Parcels

Then Berry? And I don’t know my Patriots coaches after that. Not Carroll right?

 

Chuck Fairbanks?

 

I can think of four easily, but the fifth is beyond me.

 

Mike Holovak is the one out of left field. Belichick, Fairbanks, Berry and Parcells are the others.

 

I don't have an answer for this - but curious. With the Stars and Mavs still in contention for titles - when is the last time a metro area could claim ALL FOUR of the major sports team championships by a team that plays - OR played (Dallas Texans became the KC Chiefs in '62) in their area at the same time? Or even THREE?
Oakland had the reigning WS champs when the Warriors won the title in '75. Raiders won the SB in '77.

 

Philadelphia had all four teams PLAY for the championship in the same year (1980). But only the Phillies won.

 

New York had three with games played in 1969. Jets won the Super Bowl, which ended the 1968 season, Mets won the World Series and Knicks won the title for the 1969-70 season.

 

Who was the only current (at the time/former member of the New York Mets to attend Casey Stengel's funeral?

 

Wild guess: Roger Craig?

 

Yogi?

 

No which surprised me.

According to my source, a book by Peter Golenbock.

But Stengel died on Sept. 29, when the season was still going on.

 

Joe Torre? Or Ed Kranepool?
