Chicago Cubs: Rivalry with the St. Louis Cardinals takes next step

Depending on your time as a fan of the Chicago Cubs, there may be differing degrees of dislike for the St. Louis Cardinals. A young fan may not have any at all, as he’s not witnessed a true “rivalry”–just games with the team that his father has told him they don’t like. The media and announcers hype it as a rivalry, but there hasn’t been much on the line in recent years. Even when the Cubs prevailed, the Cardinals would go to the postseason–the Cubs left licking their wounds.

2,363 games played since 1882.
