where did the ny giants baseball team play
History of the New York Giants (baseball) The New York Giants were the New York Cityâ€“based incarnation of the present day San Francisco Giants prior to the team's relocation to San Francisco in 1958. The franchise was based in the New York metropolitan area from the team's inception in 1883 through the 1957 season. During most of its seasons in New York, the Giants played home games in the Polo Grounds in the Upper Manhattan region of New York City.
San Francisco Giants In 2016, the Giants started off strong, ending their first half at the All-Star break with the best record in the majors at 57-33. However, due to a struggling bullpen in the second half, they just barely qualified for the 2016 postseason in the 2nd NL Wild Card spot. In the process they blew an 8-game lead to the rival Los Angeles Dodgers, who were missing star pitcher Clayton Kershaw for 2 1/2 months.[88] The Giants' run at even-year championships ended with a game 4 loss to the eventual World Series champion Chicago Cubs in the 2016 NLDS. In Game 4, the Giants led 5â€“2 before they were eliminated after allowing four runs to the Cubs in the 9th. They previously held an MLB-record 10-game winning streak when facing elimination in the postseason. Brandon Crawford, Joe Panik and Buster Posey all received Gold Glove awards at the close of the season.[89]
