History

Historical Context

In 1920 the New York Giants posted an 86–68 record, finishing second in the National League, seven games behind the Brooklyn Robins, while outfielder Ross Youngs hit 15 homers in the early live-ball era. Managed by John McGraw, the team’s success set a pattern that survived the 1957 move to San Francisco and still drives fan interest.
