Abstract

After the New York Giants’ disappointing seasons from 1955 to 1957 and owner Horace Stoneham’s increasing dissatisfaction with the New York sports area, he considered moving his club to someplace in Minnesota. Despite home runs (HRs) from Willie Mays and the pitching of Johnny Antonelli, the Giants fell from winning the National League (NL) pennant and World Series in 1954 to third place in 1955 and then to sixth in 1956 and 1957. With the Polo Grounds to be demolished and replaced by a housing development, Stoneham began looking for a new site for the Giants whose attendance had dropped from 1.2 million in 1954 to less than 653,000 in 1957.
