The San Francisco Giants Are Still Going Strong After A Century Of Baseball
The San Francisco Giants have a history that stretches all the way back to the 19th century when they were based in New York and known as the Gothams. Their professional baseball debut in 1883 featured a victory against a team from Boston at what is now known as the Old Polo Grounds. Since then, the ball club has remained a formidable force in the National League despite many changes.
The first change involved the name and it came in 1885 after a win in extra innings against Philadelphia. Then manager and co-founder Jim Mutrie praised his players in an emotional post game address by calling them his giants. The club dropped the Gothams label and from that time forward, they were known as the Giants.
The club captured its first National League pennant in 1888 and went on to beat the St. Louis Browns in the world championship series in ten games. The year following their first championship involved a lot of moving around as the team played at three different venues before settling in at the Second Polo Grounds in July 1889. There they stayed until 1957 when they took up residence in northern California.
The team escaped two subsequent moves. The first was in 1976 when a group led by Bob Lurie bought the franchise and blocked a possible move to Toronto. Sixteen years later, Lurie was frustrated at his inability to get a ballpark built downtown and agreed to sell to a group based in Florida. The team was spared another cross country trek when Peter Magowan spearheaded the effort by a local investment group to buy the team.
Games at Candlestick Park were as challenging for the players as they were for the fans. The location overlooking the bay guaranteed that most days were windy, cold, foggy or some combination of those conditions. The baseball team finally got their downtown stadium in 2000 with a move to China Basin.
With more than a century in the sport, the club has been involved in a number of league firsts. Manager John McGraw is credited for introducing the concept of using signals to communicate with players on the diamond in 1902. That was the year that the roster included Luther Taylor, the only deaf-mute member of the league. To encourage communication, McGraw required all players to learn sign language.
The Alou brothers, Jesus, Matty and Felipe, made Major League history on Sept. 15, 1963 when they took to the outfield at Forbes Park in Philadelphia for the Giants. It marked the first time an outfield was comprised of three brothers. Five days earlier all three went to bat in the same inning.
The players would probably rather forget 1984. That was a season that saw the squad lose 96 games. Fans, however, will remember it as the year Crazy Crab hit the field. The bug-eyed creature was supposed to be the anti-mascot. The intent was to mock traditional sports mascots but the poor thing bore the brunt of a frustrating season. By the time he was retired at the end of the season, Crazy Crab was universally abused by players as well as fans.
When it comes to sports rivalries, there is none more fierce than the one between the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The competition between the clubs has roots in the late 1800s when the two clubs played in New York. The two sides became even more determined to outdo each other when they left New York and moved west at the same time.
