San Francisco Giants history
New York was home first. The team started in 1883 as the New York Gothams, became the Giants three years later, and played most memorably at the Polo Grounds. It was the first major league club based in New York City. Leo Durocher, Bill Terry and John McGraw managed the Giants to 17 pennants and five World Series titles there, with stars like Christy Mathewson, Mel Ott and Willie Mays.
In 1958 both the Giants and the Dodgers moved to California, carrying one of the longest rivalries in American sports with them. No MLB franchise has more wins. The Giants have played in 20 World Series and won 23 National League pennants. Their eight championships rank third in the NL. Home games are at Oracle Park, which holds 41,331.
