Answer 1

1. Subway Series - By the 1920s, the subway had become an important form of public transport in the city and provided a convenient form of travel between the three city ballparks: the Polo Grounds, in upper Manhattan; Yankee Stadium, in the Bronx; and Ebbets Field in Brooklyn.

2. Freeway Series - The series takes its name from the massive freeway system in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, the home of both teams; one could travel from one team's stadium to the other simply by traveling along Interstate 5. The term is akin to Subway Series which refers to meetings between New York City baseball teams.

3. Crosstown Classic - The Chicago Cubs of the National League play their home games at Wrigley Field located on the city's North side, while the Chicago White Sox of the American League play their home games at U.S. Cellular Field (So it's like across town,North and South)

4. Bay Bridge Series-The series takes its name from the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge which links the cities of Oakland and San Francisco

5. I-70 Showdown Series - both cities are in Missouri, separated by the connecting Interstate 70.

6. Citrus Series - was started in 1998, with the inception of the Rays.

7. Lone Star Shootout - The winner of the 6-game series is awarded the Silver Boot. A 30-inch tall display of a size-15 cowboy boot cast in silver, complete with a custom, hand-made spur.If the series is split (3-to-3), the winner is the club which scored the most runs over the course of the series. Under the current rules, the designated hitter is used at the Rangers' home games but not at the Astros' home games
