History: One of the oldest franchises in professional baseball, the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn, New York, to Southern California in1958. The team has won five World Series titles since moving to Los Angeles (one in Brooklyn in 1955), the most recent coming in 1988. The Dodgers have not been back to the World Series since.
History: Compared to their Southern California neighbors, the Padres are a relatively new franchise to Major League Baseball, joining the National League as an expansion team in 1969. The Padres have had only minor postseason success - they reached the World Series for the first time in 1984 and most recently in 1998, but lost both times. They were a single game away from reaching the postseason last year, but lost a one-game playoff to eventual National League pennant-winners the Colorado Rockies.
