This constant clash leads to heated moments, on-field trash talk, and the constant feeling that there's something at stake every time the teams meet.
- It's more than just baseball: This rivalry goes beyond the diamond. It's a battle for Southern California supremacy, with both teams having huge fan bases in the region. Fans of both teams are passionate about their club, and they bring an extra level of intensity to the rivalry.
