With the Giants set to face the Mets this weekend, it brought to mind a personal rivalry of mine. So we asked the community to share their own.
Good morning, baseball fans!
With the San Francisco Giants headed to take on the New York Mets this weekend, I am reminded of one of my favorite personal baseball rivalries. I’ve written on here about my best friend before, a Norwegian who is somehow a Mets fan. And these series are definitely some of the highlights of the year for us in terms of us turning into enemies for the weekend.
So I wanted to talk about some of your favorite personal baseball rivalries. Of course there are the Los Angeles Dodgers. That’s the obvious one. But tell me about some of your other personal rivalries. Maybe your mother-in-law is a huge Miami Marlins fan, or your cousin moved to Milwaukee and is a huge Brewers fan. Tell me about the random series in the season that create chaos among your friends and family.
Because it’s Friday and we deserve fun conversations.
What time do the Giants play today?
The Giants and Mets begin their series this afternoon at 4:10 p.m. PT in New York.
