The bitter rivalry between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants goes back decades. If you want to go beyond the time when both franchises landed in California, you can all the way back to the late-19th century when both teams were based in New York City.
Both ball clubs left the Empire State during the late-1950s, much to the disappointment of the fans in New York. But while the rivalry itself had a new destination, the two teams still maintained their feud after arriving in California.
While some recency bias has dubbed San Diego Padres as the Dodgers' biggest rival, nothing could be further from the truth.
