Yankees vs. Dodgers. World Series Rivals.
Grew up in Brooklyn and frequently went to Ebbetts field. Yes, my friends and I hated the damn Yankees.

I was at Dodger Stadium on September 9, 1965.
The day
Sandy Koufax pitched his perfect game.

I didn't see that game at Dodger Stadium. Nor, did I listen to it on the radio. Heard about it on the TV Sports News the next day. Sandy Koufax was the Dodgers greatest Pitcher. I consider him the greatest of all Pitchers. He went 27-5 one year. Outstanding year that was. However, Juan Marichal, Pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, won 25 games one year. That was when the Dodgers/Giants rivalry was at its best. Hard core baseball. Juan Marichal had a perfect game on July 2, 1963 at San Francisco, against the Milwaukee Braves back then. Koufax was a left-hander. Marichal was a right-hander.
Exactly my experience. Became Red Sox fan when I lived in Massachusetts----Moved to south Florida 39 and attend a few spring training and minor league games but major league ball does not interest me any more.
The Yankees have a slogan that they play(ed) in the "House That Ruth Built." The Yankees now play in a newer stadium. Regardless, the Legacy lives on. As, I said earlier, I am not a Yankees fan, but a Dodgers fan. But, when the Yankees are playing their best, baseball fans take notice. Whether you love them., or hate them. Those pinstriped uniforms, when they play at home games. Make it clear, who they are. The New York Yankees.
