The cubs and st.louis is a long standing rivalry. How any real cubs fan could say that that Miltown is a bigger rivalry is a mystery..considering how long Miltown has been in the NL.
The cubs/cards have played over 2000 games against each other. They are "fighting" over a territory..s. illinois that gets coverage of both.
You have 2 cities against each other and the big brother/little brother aspect. Harry Caray left the Cards for the Cubs. That type of thing only makes a rivalry deepen.
You have classic mistakes like Lou Brock's trade, Mac vs. sammy, Dusty vs. larussa..and now with longtime rivals Pinella and Larussa, etc.
