Major League Baseball Geographical Rivalries : ウィキペディア英語版 | Major League Baseball Geographical Rivalries Throughout the history of Major League Baseball, there have been multitudes of intense baseball rivalries. A large number of these rivalries are caused by the geographical proximity of teams. When geographically related teams play each other, rivalries are born.
