Trivia:

The historic rivalry between the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers is the longest in baseball history, which began when these two National League clubs both played in New York City (the Giants at the Polo Grounds in Manhattan and the Dodgers at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn). Both franchises date back to the nineteenth century, and both moved to California in 1958, where the rivalry found a fitting new home, the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco having long been rivals in economic, cultural, and political arenas. Although the feud between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees gets more publicity, the Dodgers/Giants rivalry is the oldest in baseball. The Giants have won the World Series five times in their history, while the Dodgers have won the World Series six times. Since historically, the playoff race in the NL West has been fairly tight, the feud often leads to one team spoiling the other's chances of any hopeful playoff spot. An example of this phenomenon was in the 1951 season, where the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers faced off in a three game playoff. Supported by Bobby Thomson's Shot Heard 'Round the World, the Giants won the game 5-4, defeating the Dodgers in their pennant playoff series, two games to one. Another more recent example played out in the 2004 season when the Dodgers beat out the Giants for the NL West by two games after Steve Finley broke a 3-3 tie, by hitting a walk-off Grand Slam in the bottom of the 9th inning, in the second-to-last game of the regular season, thus sealing the division for the Dodgers. Unlike other historic rivalries such as those between the Cardinals and Cubs and the Red Sox and Yankess, the rivalry between the Dodgers and Giants has been very even, with both teams experiencing success over the years.
