MLB fans have gone into meltdown over two couple photos of Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, wearing caps of two teams with one of the longest-standing rivalries in baseball history.
Celebrating their 10-year wedding anniversary on social media, Thursday, Emhoff shared a compilation of snaps with his wife – the Democrats’ presidential nominee in the 2024 US presidential election – on X.
But it appears that the Second Gentleman has forgotten about the fierce rivalry that stands between the San Francisco Giants and LA Dodgers, as two pictures show him breaking code.
‘?????????????????????’ a baseball fan captioned his post with two separate visuals of Emhoff sporting a Dodgers and Giants cap.
‘This is f***ed up,’ a user replied, while another said: ‘This would decide my vote tbh.’

Some MLB fans went crazy while others perceived Emhoff rooting for his wife’s team as normal
‘he lived and worked in LA and Kamala Harris is from SF,’ someone else pointed out.
‘That’s a nasty switch up tbh’ a different individual reacted while another said: ‘The VP is a huge giants fan and he loves her so he sometimes wears her hat even as a diehard dodger fan,’ referring to Emhoff.
Emhoff – a New York City native – has lived in LA for most of his life, considering that he and his family moved to the City of Angels when he was 17.
Harris, on the other hand, served as The Bay Area’s 27th District Attorney from 2004 to 2011, potentially explaining her husband’s supporthar for the Giants.
The Dodgers–Giants rivalry is considered as the greatest sports rivalry of all time by some, as it dates back to the late 19th century, when both clubs were based in New York City.
After the 1957 season, Dodgers owner big Walter O’Malley decided to move the team to LA for financial and other reasons.

Along the way, he convinced Giants owner Horace Stoneham (who was considering moving his team to Minnesota) to preserve the rivalry by bringing his team to California as well.
New York baseball fans were stunned and heartbroken by the move, leaving the city with only one baseball team, the Yankees.
But, to ease the loss of both the Dodgers and Giants, New York City was granted a second baseball team, the Mets who began play in 1962.
The Mets appealed to both sets of fans by adopting colors from each team — orange from the Giants and blue from the Dodgers, eventually moving into a new stadium in Queens, a borough which had not previously hosted Major League Baseball.
Since moving to California, the Dodgers hold the edge in pennants (12–6) and World Series titles (6–3). Numerous acts of violence have occurred between players on both teams, and fans alike, over the years.
