Century Old Rivalry
The rivalry between Dodgers and the Giants is more than a century old. It begun when both clubs played in New York City. It is more than a century old, and is the longest rivalry in baseball history. The rivalry gained new intensity when both franchises moved to California in 1958. The cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco have long been rival throughout the history of California.
