During the team’s early beginnings in the 1880’s the Giants were formally known as the Gothams. This team is one of the most achieving teams in baseball history as they have won 20 Pennants, 6 Division titles and 5 World Series.
After a long period as part of the East Coast area (New York City); the team’s directors decide in 1957 to move to California and locate permanently to the San Francisco Bay Area.
Some of San Francisco Giants’ most predominant rivalries are with: Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees.
The following are some of the most accomplished Giants’ players throughout their history: Juan Marichal, Carl Hubbell, Orlando Cepeda, Billy Terry and Willie McCovey
The San Francisco Giants play their home games at the AT&T Park.
During the 2008 season the team will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of their move to the Bay Area. |
For this reason, they plan to win the National League West title despite the fact they won’t count with Barry Bonds as his contract was not renewed.
