Major League Baseball Rivalries on Satellite TV – Sports – Baseball

Satellite TV has always been the home of the biggest sporting events in the country. With more games than any other professional sport in the United States, it seems impossible to keep track of everything. With MLB Extra Innings on satellite though, all the action of the baseball season can come right to your living room. Baseballs rivalries are half the reason that the faithful keep track of the game, as baseball rivalries are among the longest-running and most storied in sports history. Now, with the advent of high definition TV, more people than ever before are catching these amazing games in brilliant HD clarity.Among the famous rivalries to look forward to on Satellite TV:St. Louis Cardinals v. Chicago CubsThis Midwest rivalry has come to define baseball in the United States, featuring perhaps the least-lucky baseball club in the United States. Chicago seems to be the perennial favorite during rivalry games, but hasn’t made it to the World Series in over 100 years. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have been a constant threat in the postseason over the years. Cubs fans are among the most faithful in the league however, and this rivalry is sure to continue for years to come.Boston Red Sox v. New York YankeesThe Red Sox and Yankees rivalry is the stuff of legend. You can see it on the faces of the fans, and even a visitor to New York knows to be careful wearing a Boston hat. The legendary curse put in place by Babe Ruth when he was sold to Yankees in 1920 was broken in 2004. It was the Red Sox first World Series victory in 84 years, while during that time, the Yankees had won over 25. Although the rest of the American League East is strong this year, the Red Sox and Yankees will remain perennial contenders for the postseason.New York Mets v. New York YankeesThe only Yankees rivalry that might have as much steam as the Red Sox rivalry is the infamous Subway Series. These cross-town rivals have been battling during the regular season since interleague play came to Major League Baseball. They also brought the rivalry to the World Series in 2000, with the Yankees securing a sound victory. Mets fans shouldn’t despair though, their squad is looking better than ever before.LA Dodgers v. SF GiantsLos Angeles and San Francisco have been rivals since before their respective teams moved to the west coast. That being said, the rivalry hasn’t toned down ever since. The two are heated competitors in the NL West, but neither has secured their division spot with the other securing the wildcard. Thus, the two have never played each other in the postseason. Both have great chances to change that this season, though.
