Though in different leagues, the Giants have also been historical rivals of the Yankees,<ref>{{cite book |last=Stout |first=Glenn |title=Yankees Century: 100 Years of New York Yankees Baseball |publisher=[[Houghton Mifflin]] |year=2002 |page=290 |isbn=0-618-08527-0}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Neft |first=David |author-link=David Neft |title=The Sports Encyclopedia: Baseball 2006 |publisher=[[St. Martin's Press]] |year=2006 |page=351 |isbn=0-312-35001-5}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Wynne |first=Brian|title=The Book of Sports Trophies |publisher=Cornwall Books |year=1984 |page=37}}</ref> starting in New York before the Giants moved to the [[West Coast of the United States|West Coast]]. Before the institution of [[interleague play]] in 1997, the two teams had little opportunity to play each other except in seven [[World Series]]: {{wsy|1921}}, {{wsy|1922}}, {{wsy|1923}}, {{wsy|1936}}, {{wsy|1937}}, {{wsy|1951}} and {{wsy|1962}}, the Yankees winning last five of the seven Series. The teams have met five times in regular season interleague play: In 2002 at the old [[Yankee Stadium (1923)|Yankee Stadium]], in 2007 at [[Oracle Park]] (then known as AT&T Park), in 2013, 2016, and 2023 at the current [[Yankee Stadium]], and in 2019 at Oracle Park. The teams' next regular season meetings will occur yearly, with the advent of the [[Major_League_Baseball_schedule|balanced schedule format]] introduced in 2023.

In his July 4, 1939, farewell speech ending with the renowned "Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth", Yankee slugger [[Lou Gehrig]], who played in 2,130 consecutive games, declared that the Giants were a team he "would give his right arm to beat, and vice versa".<ref>{{cite web|title=Lou Gehrig's Farewell Speech |url=http://www.lougehrig.com/about/speech.htm |publisher=LouGehrig.com |access-date=September 10, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090907071610/http://www.lougehrig.com/about/speech.htm |archive-date=September 7, 2009 }}</ref>
