While rivalries between AL and NL teams aren't overly common, one notable exception is the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees. In addition to the usual big market East Coast vs. West Coast stuff going on, the two franchises are high profile league juggernauts that often find themselves being compared against one another even though they don't face off all that often. When they do go against each other, whether it is in the regular season or in the World Series (which has happened 12 times now), fans of both teams tend to melt down.
