The problem with "same year" championships is that the Super Bowl is played in the year following the regular season. The Jets may have won the SB in 1969, but it came after the 1968 season. Not quite the same year as the Mets won the Series.
Hockey and basketball, at least there the regular season spans two years.
Nobody refers to that great Bears team as the "86" Bears even though they won the SB in 1986--they're the 85 Bears.
