I was born in 1985:
Stanley Cup - Edmonton Oilers beat the Philadelphia Flyers
World Series - Kansas City Royals beat the St Louis Cardinals (It was known as the I-70 World Series because the two cities are in Missouri separated by the I-70)
Super Bowl - The Chicago Bears won their first Super Bowl, also SB XX. Beat the Patriots.
NBA Finals - The Lakers beat the Celtics.
1985 was a bad year for Boston. *Tear* I love Boston.

Because the Super Bowl is in January that's technically the 1984 season. It depends on how you see it.
