The Giants hated seeing Kent in Dodger blue. As they did when Brett Butler moved down south in 1991. Still suprises me to this day that Butler was a Dodger from 1991-1997, and only a Giant from 1988-1990. Seemed like he was here longer than that.
When Orel Hershiser was signed by the San Francisco Giants in 1998, I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to think. This was a guy who completely dominated baseball for a good stretch, and it was pitching for the hated Dodgers.
The only think I can equate it to now is when my former employer trained me to despise a certain brand that we didn’t carry, then pulled a switcheroo and we were made to love that brand after we picked it up.
