Roger Clemens and Mike Piazza. Perhaps no other player against player rivalry is better than the one between Clemens and Piazza. Both were playing for New York then as Clemens played for the New York Yankees and Piazza played for the New York Mets.
When that rivalry was over, MLB Baseball was left without any dramatic and emotional battle like the one they had in the Clemens-Piazza chapter. Of course, once can claim the Derek Jeter – Alex Rodriguez story may be worth your while but they’re teammates so I guess we’ll just have to wait when A-Rod gets out of New York.
For what it’s worth, there’s a new international rivalry brewing between the Seattle Mariners slugger Ichiro Suzuki and Boston Red Sox power pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka. They’re both Japanese so every single time the Red Sox and the Mariners dance, you bet Japan will be watching.
