Pitcher Juan Marichal, catcher John Roseboro, Candlestick Park, Aug. 22, 1965
Wikipedia - "The Dodgers–Giants rivalry is regarded as one of the greatest, most competitive, and longest-standing rivalries in American baseball. The feud between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants began in the late 19th century when both clubs were based in New York City, with the Dodgers playing in Brooklyn and the Giants playing at the Polo Grounds in Manhattan. After the 1957 season, Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley decided to move the team to Los Angeles for financial and other reasons. Along the way, he managed to convince Giants owner Horace Stoneham ... to preserve the rivalry by bringing his team to California as well. New York baseball fans were stunned and heartbroken by the move. Given that the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco have long been competitors in economic, cultural, and political arenas, the new venue in California became fertile ground for its transplantation."
