With so much history between the Yankees and the Dodgers, it’s easy to forget the Angels also play in Los Angeles. Moreover, it’s easier to forget that, for a time, the Angels and Yankees did not like each other.
Granted, it doesn’t help that the Angels name has changed a bunch throughout its history. Los Angeles Angels. California Angels. Anaheim Angels. And now, the mouthful that is the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
What’s more is that, now that the Yankees swept the Halos in Anaheim, we can officially say the rivalry is dead.
