Los Angeles Dodgers versus the San Francisco Giants is the most visible part of an ideological fault line that runs through politics, food, culture, dress, music and contrasting ways of life. Simply put, it’s about which place is better —Northern California or Southern California.
It was Friday, which always helps, and the sun was shining, which it often is in beautiful Southern California. Outside it was a balmy 88 degrees with very little humidity, a cool breeze fluttering through the fan palms on my street.
In sports, rivalries are measured by factors like the strength of the teams, how evenly matched and for how long, and how many championships they have between them. The Giants and Dodgers have a rich and colorful sports rivalry featuring bats thrown at heads, balls to groins and an impressive bounty of World Series trophies.
Dodgers-Giants games are simply the venue where we get to work out our aggression about all the other things we’re fighting about. When the Giants won the World Series that year, I suddenly cared less about the Dodgers winning and more about the Giants losing as often and as painfully as possible. Consequently, I’ve been engaged in several long-term, half-joking but half-serious tugs of war over who should move where and which place is better.
