Yankees fans may gripe that the all-California matchup between the
San Francisco Giants and the Anaheim Angels is just a duel between
runts, but both teams managed to make it this far. Between them, the
Giants and the Angels combine for 85 years without a World Series

only real question is: will the California fans actually make it to
the end of a game, or will they leave early to beat traffic?
