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.

* Stanley Cup 1986 - The Montreal Canadiens (defeating the Calgary Flames 4-1)

* World Series 1986 - The New York Mets (defeating the Boston Red Sox 4-3 - "the Curse of the Bambino")

* Super Bowl 1986 - The Chicago Bears (their first superbowl win! - 46-10 against the New England Patriots)

* NBA Finals 1986 - The Boston Celtics (4-2 against the Houston Rockets)

That was fun! I'm not sure how you're going to pick ONE best answer, though.

In 1970, the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup.

The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Cincinnati Reds in five games to win the World Series.

In Super Bowl IV, the Kansas City Chiefs upset the Minnesota Vikings 23-7.

The New York Nicks defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 4 games to 3 to become the NBA champions.

Yup Ron Hextall won MVP as the losing goalie, happens from time to time, The Ducks goalie won MVP when they lost to Jersey in 03.

After Hextall won that he gave his infamous "naked" interview

In basketball, the
Seattle Supersonics beat the Washington Bullets, aka
the Washington Wizards.
In NHL Hockey, the Montreal
