are there big rivalries between pittsburgh and philly?

It's OFFICIAL, MLB just announced him as the NL Rookie of the year (a Pirate first) though the players and Sporting News have name former Pirates never a trifecta!

Fruitcove, not as much anymore since they realigned the pre-1970 eastern division in football and pre-1993 eastern division in baseball, Cleveland has always been THE rival in football but the state rivalry is still strong some in baseball and years we play the eagles. The real intrastate rivalry is the Penguins and Flyers in hockey, with both teams being GREAT in the 1980s and 1990s, some really memorable games there.
