Whick rivalry is better, yankees-redsox or giants-dodgers?

Question

Giants-Dodgers is a way better rivalry.

Answer 1

Yank-Mes Red Sox is so, so overrated. No one cares about New England. What Red Sox fans don't want to tell you is no one else in the country cared about their title in 204--we just let them win so they could go another 84 years complaining.

Dodgers-Giants is the best, yes yes!

Answer 2

I would say Yanks/Sox at this point

The Giants and Dodgers had a great rivalry during the 50s and 60s, but since then, they have rarely both been good at the same time.

Meanwhile, the Yanks and Sox have gone through several generations of both teams being good at the same time...

The Yanks and Sox were both great teams in the mid-late 70's, both were good pretty much throughout the 80s, and the late 90s and 2000's have seen some great season and post-season series between the two teams.

There has probably never been anything like the Giants / Dodgers rivalry of the 50s and 60s... incredible hatred between the players on both sides...and both were great, great teams... Drysdale, Koufax, Mays, McCovey, Marichal, G. Perry, etc... but for the last 30 years or so, each team has had a little run of being good, but almost never at the same time. Which means that, when they play each other, it's for bragging rights only, and not to decide who goes to the post season (or who advances in the post season).

The Yanks and Sox have played many more meaningful regular season (and post season) games against each other over the last 30+ years. Geez, they played back to back 7 game ALCS's in 2003 and 2004... teams in the same league can't play any games more important than an LCS.

Answer 3

Are u Fu**in serious this shuldnt even be a question there is no rivalry like yanks sox and the giants dodgers was ten times bigger rivalry wen they were in ny the giants dodgers arnt even on the same planet as the sox yanks. And ohh btw the two teams cant both suk to have a good rivalry, The giants dodgers rivalry is almost as intense as the marlins phills rivalry.

Answer 4

When the Giants and Dodgers were in New York it truly rivaled the Yankee-Red Sox rivalry. Ebbets Field and the Polo Grounds were always Standing Room Only for their games. And yes, Stand Room Only tickets were stood back in those days. Once the teams went to the Left Coast the rivalry seemed to disappear.

Answer 5

BOS/NYY is the greatest rivalry in ALL OF SPORTS.

Why?

The two teams have a much bigger history between them than the Giants and Dodgers. Think about it: The "curse" of the Bambino, Bucky Dent's HR, and the Red Sox improbable comeback in the 2004 ALCS. Not to mention the two teams have ended up 1-2 in the AL East for the last decade or so.

The Giants and Dodgers rivalry may have been covered up by BOS/NYY, but it's still not as popular.

Answer 6

I am a Giants fan, but how can you ask a question like that? The Red Sox-Yankees rivalry is not only the best rivalry in baseball, but the BEST RIVALRY IN ALL OF SPORTS.

Answer 7

yankees redsox is much better. why do you think they make such a big deal of it. both teams are good and can win the world series. the dodgers and giants both suck and might not even make the playoffs. the yankees and redsox get more publicity because their rivalry is better!

Answer 8

YOu guys are all wrong. The best rivalry are the White Sox Cubs. Michael Barrett. Need I say more? The punch to AJ was the best!!! I mean who could forget something like that? It just goes to show you how much these two clubs hate each other.

Answer 9

Red Sox Vs Yankees for the last decade have been a better rivalry.Barry Bond sucks for cheating
