Your ticket to the latest San Francisco Giants News & Rumors
The San Francisco Giants are a Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in San Francisco, California, who currently play in the National League West Division. One of the oldest baseball teams, the Giants have won the most games of any team in the history of baseball. The Giants played in New York City through the 1957 season, after which they moved west to California to become the San Francisco Giants. The Giants began life as the second baseball club founded by millionaire tobacconist John B. Day and veteran amateur baseball player Jim Mutrie. The Gothams (as the Giants were originally known) were their entry to the National League in 1883, while their other club, the Metropolitans (the original Mets) played in the American Association.
