If you talk about feud in baseball, the Dodgers and the Giants are hard to miss. This two has one of the longest rivalries and most talked about in baseball history. Their rivalry is very interesting because the teams take turn to shine. No team has powerfully ruled the contention throughout the years.

The feud rooted over a century ago in New York. The Dodgers represented the American Association while the Giants for the National League in the 1889 version of the World Series. In 1990, the Dodgers followed the move of most AA teams and joined the National League. This sparked the beginning of several face-offs between the two.

History has it that the feud is not really a battle of the two teams in the beginning. The team owners of each team have an underlying grudge for each other. The teams served as instruments to get back at each other.

From New York, the rivalry moved to California in 1958. This was due to the insistence of Dodger owner, Walter O?Malley. He moved his team in Los Angeles. In his desire to preserve the rivalry, he urged Horace Stoneham, Giants owner, to do the same. The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants were born.

Sadly, the feud did not remain in the baseball field. It grew to players having confrontations in and out of the arena. Fans were also involved in intense arguments and fights on and off the game.
