This is a good question.  You can toss in Giants vs. Dodgers, too -- after all, they packed their rivalry and took it to the other Coast.\n\nHowever, despite the long history between Chicago and St. Louis, it is lost on most Americans, especially those outside those regional areas.\n\nAnd, as many of the responses have indicated, the rivalry between NY and Bsn is deeply rooted.   Geographically, it seems they're just next door.  And, more importantly, so many pennant races have gone down to the wire between the two clubs.\n\nChicago has not had great teams, year in & out.  When St. Louis went to the Fall Classic, they didn't square off with Chicago to get there.   The (loveable) Cubbies were often eliminated.   And, when Chicago was fighting for a pennant recently, they didn't have to get past St. Louis.\n\nOn the other hand, the Yankees and Red Sox are always 1-2. And, they've squared off in memorable playoffs and post-season encounters to get to the World Series.\n\nClearly, the answer is Yankees / Red Sox, which may also be THE greatest rivalry in all of professional sports.

St louis Cardinals. the most successful National League team in MLB history. The Cardinals have had such great players that play solid defense and dominant pitching. The post season record and many world championships speak for itself. And we did not have to over pay for the teams.(Yankees)The yankees have had 200mil+ payrolls and were horrible. One of the reasons the Cardinals have been so successful is that we play in the same division as the Useless by September Cubs. I have to thank the cubs for sucking so bad, that we never had any real competition from them for the N.L. Central. Thank You cubs for being a terrible baseball team through out history. I am sure glad the Cardinals won a Championship since I have been alive. The suck-ass cubs barely have any fans old enough to remember a winning post season. Cubs Blow! Cards Rule!

The World Series will be won by either the Cards or the Yankees.  The Cubs suck, the Tigers won't last, and it's extremely hard to repeat.  NL West will lose in the 1st round of the playoffs, Braves will win the east and lose in the 1st round.  Cards will beat the wild card mets.  Yankees will beat the rangers, Red sox will beat the white sox, and Yankess will beat the Red Sox.  Not sure if the Cards will beat the yanks or not.

Cardinals!\n\nWay more rounded team. Very good offense and pitching to boot. (Carpenter, Mulder...Isringhausen).\n\nYanks are just offense. No pitching.

BOSTON SOX ALL THE WAY!!! No, I'm not the least bit excited about baseball (can ya tell?). :) I'm really looking forward to the season, and my city now has a new 1A team that is a farm team for Boston. Go Drive!!! Ok, I know, the Greenville Drive isn't the most exciting name, but it's better than the Sand Gnats. No offense to the Sand Gnat fans meant of course.

I'm a Mets fan, and being from NY all I hear is that the odds makers pick the Yankees EVERY year. Nothing new there. In the AL the Chisox could do it again. In the NL, who knows? My Mets are bound to improve (they can only go up!), so let's just watch and see. Play Ball!!

I love the Cubs, but I don't hate the White Sox skill. They as a team have crap attitudes trickleing off to their fans and announcers, which is why I can never be a White Sox FAN. If it wasn't for this chemistry, I would have crossed over to the White Sox. I would love if the Cubs could win the world series on their 100th year anniversiry of not winning a world series. It would make it the best thing that has ever happened to me and reward me for being a true Cubs fan over the years.

The YANKS, even though I am a Red Sox fan.  \n\nAdd it up.  You have more valuable Yankee baseball cards and memorobilia than Red Sox stuff.    The difference is almost enough to make me switch.  (But it is fun to sell baseball cards to Yankee Fans as a Red Sox fan, but it would be impossible to sell anything to a Red Sox fan if I were a Yankee Fan).
