Cubs vs Cardinals Rivalry
The Cubs-Cardinals rivalry dates to 1892 and is the NL's oldest and most civil blood feud — a Midwestern clash of ivy-draped tradition against the Cardinal Way. A weekend series at either Wrigley or Busch is a tour of the heartland's two most knowledgeable fan bases.

The Cardinals–Cubs rivalry, also called the Route 66 rivalry and The I-55 rivalry, refers to the rivalry between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs of the National League (NL), one of the most bitter rivalries in Major League Baseball and in all of North American professional sports. The Cardinals have won 19 NL pennants, while the Cubs have won 17. However, the Cardinals have a clear edge when it comes to World Series success, having won 11 championships to the Cubs' three. Games between the two clubs see numerous visiting fans in either St. Louis's Busch Stadium or Chicago's Wrigley Field. When the NL split into two divisions in 1969, and later three divisions in 1994, the Cardinals and Cubs remained together.
