History of the New York Giants (NL)
The history of the New York Giants, before the franchise moved to San Francisco, lasted from 1883 to 1957. It featured five of the franchise's eight World Series wins and 17 of its 24 National League pennants. For most of that time, the Giants played home games in the Polo Grounds in the Upper Manhattan region of New York City. The Giants had intense rivalries with their cross-town rivals, the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers, known collectively as the Subway Series. The New York-Brooklyn rivalry soon evolved into the Los Angeles-San Francisco rivalry. Numerous inductees of the Baseball Hall of Fame played for the New York Giants, including John McGraw,  Mel OttBill TerryWillie MaysMonte Irvin, and Travis Jackson. Some of the most memorable moments in the Giants' New York history are Willie Mays' famous catch in game one of the 1954 World SeriesThe Shot Heard 'Round the World, and the 1922 World Series, where the Giants defeated the Yankees in four games.
