B. Which 2 NFC teams have met the most times in postseason play? For this, there are actually 3 matchups that are involved. Name them. Also, this includes pre-Super Bowl play as well.

NYC, Chicago, Miami, Pittsburgh (had a ABA winner, I think), Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington DC...

Don't follow the other sports, but I'll take a crack at couple of the football ones:
2A: Cowboys
9: Elway

Reds-Pirates was going to be my first answer on NL but I switched it.
You sure Tark didnt play in four conference titles?
He played in 3 SBs and it seems they got knocked out in an NFC championship during that era as well.

You should have stuck with your first instinct. Reds/Pirates is a Check.

My thinking is the same as yours, but my source didn't have him in 4.....but we can double check.

4. Since 1869 which school has won the most Division I (or the equivalency thereof) Football National Championships?

New York, LA, Chicago, Philly, Boston, Detroit, Pittsburgh. As noted, Dallas came within one strike of joining this group.
Of course, not all cities have teams in all 4 sports. The other cities that could join this group besides Dallas are:
Bay area SF/Oak/SJ, (lacking only hockey title)
Phoenix, (has only won in baseball)
Denver, (won hockey and football, but not basketball/baseball)
Minnesota (won only in baseball)
Miami (won all but hockey)
Washington (won all but hockey)
7. Name the only city in history to have all 4 of their pro teams make the Finals in their sport in the same calendar year. (note: calendar year for basketball/hockey is year of the playoffs. For NFL it is the year of the regular season)

It is the NY/NJ area in 2003 which had the Nets play in the NBA finals, losing to San Antonio, and the NJ Devils beating the Anaheim Mighty Ducks.
So, in the last 11 years no city has had 2 teams even playing in the Finals.
