re: #367 HappyWarrior

And you had 1988 and 1981 to look back on. I’ve never seen a pennant winner. Is the intercity rivalry that big between the two or is it more like Lakers-Clippers have been?

It’s more like the Lakers-Clippers. Though it changed a bit after 2002.

I remember going to freeway series games (even before interleague play) and the Dodger fans at Angel Stadium would drown out Angel fans during take me out to the ballgame.

After the Angels won they had a lot of pink hat fans that ended up staying on. But it’s very regional. You won’t find Angel fans in LA proper, mostly in Orange County or right on the border of the counties. But you’ll still find Dodger fans in Orange County. (Which is similar to the Kings and Ducks dynamic as well)

The Clippers don’t really have a fan base, the Lakers own everything that makes up the LA market.

I’ve not figured out the Rams and Chargers fan bases yet. The Rams at least had a history here to draw on, but 20 years is a long time - especially in a town with this many transplants. The Chargers have a decent fan base in Orange County, but not many of them seem interested in driving to Carson for games.
