As I watched the Chicago Cubs beat the Chicago White Sox 2-0 today at US Cellular Field (formerly Comiskey Park) to take 2 of 3 games (Sox took 2 of the 3 games in May at Wrigley Field), I thought of great rivalries -- Red Sox/Yankees, Cubs/Cardinals, Bears/Packers, Bulls/Pistons, Ford/Chevy, Burger King/McDonald's, Chicago Sun Times/Chicago Tribune, Ewings/Barnes, etc -- and how this world would be so boring without them.
In Chicago, they say you can't be a fan of both the White Sox and Cubs. I'm not so sure about that, as I know several people who claim to be both. I'm not normally one of them, but this year ... well, perhaps a bit. Be that as it may, the Cubs/Sox rivalry -- like the other ones I mentioned -- seems to raise the level of excitement to enhance the experience, fun and challenges. They also serve, ironically, to bring people together and make for great "water cooler" conversations.
So, with that in mind ... what are some of YOUR favorite rivalries?
