Summary: SPORTS GREATEST RIVALRY?
Review: This may be the greatest rivalry in sports. The Yankee-Red Sox rivalry is as one-sided as the British and the IRA. The Dodgers and Giants, however, are like the North vs. the South in the Civil War.STEVEN TRAVERS

Summary: So that's why we hate the Dodgers (and vice versa)
Review: Whether or not Giants-Dodgers is baseball's "best" rivalry, it's certainly the most rich historically, as this delightful book shows. As a veteran of Fort Candlestick in the 1970s--when Friday night games against the Dodgers meant automatic slugfests (in the stands, and sometimes in the parking lot) I can testify to the ferocity of the rivalry for Bay Area fans. Among the interesting points in this book is that it was fans on the "losing" side (for a long while in Brooklyn, later in SF) who really kept the rivalry going. But best of all are the well-written accounts of all the many seasons when the Giants and Dodgers battled for supremacy. This is a terrific book for fans who want to relive those battles and for those who want to know what the rivalry is really all about. Lots of good stories and memorable quotes. It would make a great gift for baseball-history fans.
