I believe it dates to the 1936/37 era, which saw the Yankees and Giants play each other in the World Series (the Yankees won them both). The Yankee/Giant rivalry is often overshadowed by the Dodger/Yankee rivalry. The Dodgers sucked for much of the 20's and 30's, and didn't face the Yankees in the 'Series until 1941. The Giants faced the Yankees 4 times prior, last winning in 1922 (?). |
