Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Also, Oakland is just a bridge's drive across the bay from San Fracisco. It's probably a quicker trip from AT&T park to the Coliseum in Oakland than from Dodgers Stadium at Chavez Ravine to the park in Anaheim, depending upon traffic, which can be hell in both places. East coast people tend to forget that California has five baseball teams and the largest percentage of major league ball players come from Cali.
Back in the day, Boston had the Braves and Red Sox, Philadelphia had the A's and the Phillies and St. Louis had the Browns and the Cardinals. Also, NYC had the Dodgers (Brooklyn), Giants and Yankees.

There are only TWO (2) cities with both an NL and AL team.
New York
NL - Mets
AL - Yankees
Chicago
NL - Cubs
AL - White Sox
Los Angeles
Only has 1 team the NL West Dodgers.
The Angels were originally an LA expansion team and even played at Chavez Ravine (Dodger Stadium). You cannot however consider the team an LA team as the Angels are based out of and play at their stadium located in the City of Anaheim in Orange County. They only use "Los Angeles" for marketing purposes. Thus the official name of the Angels is Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
This explanation from their 2005 media guide clarifies:
"The inclusion of Los Angeles reflects the original expansion name and returns the Angels as Major League Baseball's American League representative in the Greater Los Angeles territory."
The MLB only granted American League territorial rights of Los Angeles, Ventura, Riverside, San Bernadino and Orange counties to the Angels. The team's home remains Anaheim and not Los Angeles.

what's with that pathetic-searching AL significant? you need to be a grimy Hose fan to grant them such susceptible competition. lol Too many divisions. Too few communities in them. Makes it a lot more desirable in all probability a medicore club ought to dominate 3 different doormats, sneak into the playoffs and get fortunate in a fabulous 2 out of three series. Too many communities in the playoffs too. you've only about one-0.33 advancing! that quite makes the established season beside the point. would not suggestions a touch enlargement, yet would desire 4 divisions of 8 communities. You play your branch 14 cases for ninety 8 video games; different branch 8 cases for sixty 4 video games; 162 entire. Scrap the total inter-league play gimic. NL East CUBS Atlanta Cincinnati Florida ny Mets Philadelphia Pittsburgh St. Louis NL West Arizona Colorado Houston l. a. Dodgers Milwaukee Portland (enlargement) San Diego San Francisco AL East Baltimore Boston Cleveland Detroit ny Yankees Tampa Bay Toronto Washington - (certain bypass them to the AL) AL West * Indianapolis (enlargement) Kansas city l. a. Angels Minnesota Oakland Seattle Texas The grimy Hose * i imagine Louisville will be a more desirable suitable determination than Indy. To dusty laredo: If MLB needs to challenge off the sea coast, San Juan benefits a franchise till now all people else. Re: enlargement a touch enlargement sometimes does no longer reason dilution of expertise. That argument is a load of cow manure. there is diverse expertise obtainable. If the prevailing golf equipment had to open up their total farm gadget for a spread draft, you'll not have them hording and hiding gifted pitchers from the enlargement draft. more desirable run production replaced into specially the outcome of steroids and of more recent yet smaller ballparks replacing their predecessors.

New York and Chicago.
If you are going to stretch it to include the Dodgers and Angels, then you should do the same for San Francisco and Oakland. The parks in Northern California are actually closer than the parks in Southern California.

New York and Chicago
You could add LA if you accept the new Angels team name, and that Anaheim is really a suburb of LA as the owner claims.

NY and Chicago.....LA doesn't count. I grew up a Dodger fan and down here, we can't seem to understand why Moreno wants the name LA for his Angels. I like the Angels, too (most of the coaching staff are made up of past Dodgers players, you know). FYI....legalities pending, but I recently have been going to Angels games and there is not one item sold with the name "LA" on it. They are not even announced as the "Los Angeles Angels of Anahiem". The lineup is announced as "Your Angels"....go figure.
