Without racking my brain too much, I'll throw out Sixers/Phillies in 1980 ... No, I think Lakers won in 1980.

Sixers did not win in 1980....Lakers did. (Sixers won in '83) Phillies did win.
But FYI....Philadelphia did have all 4 of its teams in each sport make the Finals in 1980: 76ers/Flyers/Phillie/Eagles.....but ONLY the Phillies won. (only time in history a city had a team in the finals of all 4 sports....not even the NYC areas has had that)
Lakers Dodgers in 87?
Lakers and Dodgers did win in 1988 (close enough...but that is not the last time it happended (but note...it has only happened 2 times)

And the classic "I can not believe what I just saw" quote.Lakers and Dodgers did win in 1988 (close enough...but that is not the last time
LA, hey come late, leave early it's cool.

No, Baltimore Orioles won titles in 1970 and 1983. Bullets won in 1978....but they were in Washington then.

Angels/Lakers early 2000s
Bada Bing. Check. LA Lakers and "Los Angeles Angels at Anaheim" won in 2002. That and 1988 are the only two years in history that a city has won both Basketball and Baseball the same year.
But that is far from being the only year in which a city has won a title in two different sports, but it hasn't happened as much recently as it used to before all the league expanded a great deal. Here is the list:
2004 Boston win both Baseball and Football...Red Sox/Pats
2002 LA wins both Baseball and Basketball...Angels/Lakers
1989 Bay area wins both Baseball and Football....As/49ers
1988 LA wins both Baseball and Basketball....Dodgers/Lakers
1986 New York wins both Baseball and Football....Mets/Giants
1979 Pittsburgh wins both Baseball and Football...Pirates/Steelers
1970 Baltimore wins both Baseball and Football...Orioles/Colts
1956 New York wins both Baseball and Football...Yankees/Giants
1952 Detroit wins both Football and Hockey....Lions and Redwings
1948 Cleveland wins both Baseball and Football....Indians and Browns
1938 New York wins both Baseball and Football...Yankees and football Giants
1935 Detroit wins both Baseball and Football....Tigers and Lions
1933 New York wins both Baseball and Hockey.... Baseball Giants and Rangers
1928 New York wins both Baseball and Hockey....Yankees and Rangers
1927 New York wins both Baseball and Football....Yankees and football Giants
1920 Cleveland area wins both Baseball and Football....Indians and Akron Pros
Can Cleveland join the list again?

I note that no city has ever won both Basketball and Football in the same year.
And as I have noted at other time, no city has won the two sports whose playoffs are played contemporaneously; Basketball and Hockey.

Baseball and presidential elections? Both seem to go on forever? Eh?

Funny thing about that stupid Angels name.... people who are from here will be quick to tell you that Anaheim is not in Los Angeles. It's not even in LA county so its a pretty lame name for a sports team.

They began in LA, but later moved to Anaheim.
And not being in the same county is not an impediment to having a particular name. The Cleveland Cavaliers used to play in Summit County for many years.
And hell....the NY Giants and the NY Jets don't even play in the same state as their city namesake.
Washington Redskins don't play in the District of Columbia.
The Dallas Cowboys play in Tarant County, not Dallas County (perhaps should be the Ft. Worth Cowboys...Ft. Worth in Tarant Co.
And now look where the San Francisco 49ers are playing...Santa Clara, closer to San Jose now than SFO.
So, no, pro sports teams use names for marketing, not for geographical accuracy.
Note those that use state names: Tennessee Titans, Minnesota Vikings. Arizona Cardinals (Ariz. Diamondbacks) Or regions: New England Patriots. "Carolina" Panthers (is that North or South Carolina...they don't want to distinguish. Tampa Bay (Rays don't play in Tampa...but in St. Pete) Miami Dolphins don't play in Miami....but in Miami Gardens (but still Dade Co.)
And on and on.
