The powerhouse Yomiuri Giants are like the Yankees or even the Dodgers now. SFGiants are like the Hanshin Tigers, the plucky losers relegated to second place and below.
*[The Tigers-Giants rivalry is considered the national Japanese rivalry, on par with the Dodgers-Giants and Yankees-Red Sox rivalries in Major League Baseball or El Clásico in Spanish football. The two teams have historically had a relatively close record of games with the Giants taking 1127 wins over the Tigers whereas the Tigers have taken 888 games over the Giants. 77 of the total games between the two have ended in tie.[8]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanshin_Tigers)*
Tigers won the Japan Series two years ago, and are playing a lot better than the Giants recently. If you want Dodgers, that’s this year’s champion, Softbank Hawks. They have. A really wealthy owner.
