First Meeting

[edit]

The first meeting should not include when the Philadelphia Athletics and New York Giants first played eachother. Wolf O'Donnel (talk) 23:09, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(Eventually) moving page to "Athletics–Giants rivalry"

[edit]

Requested move 19 August 2024

[edit]

Bay Bridge SeriesAthletics–Giants rivalry – The rivalry between the two teams will still exist in the short term (at least through 2027), though the scope of the rivalry will be zoomed out from the Bay Area (San Francisco/Oakland) to that of Northern California (San Francisco/Sacramento), being that the A's will play in West Sacramento for at least the next 3 seasons. By changing the name of the page to only include the team names, the scope of the article can better accommodate the new SF/Sacramento reality beginning next year.

The Bay Bridge Series is now firmly in the past, but maybe the page move should be delayed until the two teams meet again (whether that be moving the page on the day of the next game of May 16, 2025 or before Spring Training 2025). Alternatively, maybe it's better for it to be effective immediately since the "Bay Bridge Series" is now in the past. Spesh531(talk, contrib., ext.) 21:30, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget to 1989 World Series. Support if that means the first meeting should include when the Philadelphia Athletics and New York Giants first played eachother. And, yeah, it's "Dodgers–Yankees rivalry" because "subway series" is a sandwich line! LOL wbm1058 (talk) 13:01, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It was honestly this change from yesterday that changed the "First meeting" from the 1905 World Series to the 1989 World Series that prompted me to pose the question of moving the page. WCCasey was correct in his edit to focus the infobox to the "Bay Bridge Series" and remove the mention of 1905 (and remove the Next Meeting: 2025) because that's the current focus of the page, but this rivalry won't end with the Bay Bridge Series so...

  • Oppose. The Bay Bridge Series had no relationship to any rivalry that may have existed before both teams moved to the Bay Area. Physical proximity created the Bay Bridge rivalry, and there will be no more rivalry after the A's move away. WCCasey (talk) 01:10, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
