San Francisco Giants Rivalry

The San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants are both members of the National League West Division.  Both teams are based in California, with San Diego a few hours south of San Francisco.  These two teams have an intense rivalry, as both have been in the National League West Division since 1969.  The San Francisco Giants used to be the New York Giants, where they won 14 pennants and 5 World Championships.  In 1957, the team decided to move to San Francisco, California.  They have won 4 pennants and 1 World Series Championship while being in California, with the World Series Championship coming in 2010.  The San Francisco Giants have a talented pitching staff with perennial Cy Young winner and candidate Tim Lincecum, as well as the 2010 National League Rookie of the Year in Buster Posey.  The San Francisco Giants are always a big draw whenever they are in San Diego.  Purchase your San Diego Padres vs. San Francisco Giants tickets today!
