The enemy of my enemy is my friend. That’s what San Francisco Giants fans will be telling themselves as the World Series kicks off, featuring the New York Yankees against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Sure, the Yankees also have a sky-high payroll, regularly beat out the Giants for free agents, and have an arrogant fan base that seems to pervade every American city, but at least they never employed Tommy Lasorda, Mike Marshall, or Trevor Bauer.
So when the World Series begins Friday night in Los Angeles, Giants fans will likely be rooting for New York, albeit while holding their noses and wondering why Fox needs two former Yankees on its pregame show.
