8 World Series Titles.  10 World Series losses. The Giants began playing in 1883 in the Polo Grounds and never played in another stadium in New York.  They went to the Bay Area in 1958 and appeared in the World Series in 1962 but not again until 1989, finally winning their 1st WS in 56 years in 2010?

Hall of Famers abound in Giants history particularly in the outfield.  But not as much outside of 1st base in the infield. We also discuss HOFers that were Giants but not for very long.

Thanks to all of our listeners and followers.  We appreciate you!

William Ryzcek, author of Crash of the Titans, reminisces about the financially challenging, but comical early days of the Harry Wismer-owned, Sammy Baugh-coached New York Titans. The interview follows colorful stories of better-than-given-credit players and outrageous in-game results, while looking at the foundation built for Joe Namath and the Jets to take the AFL to the heights by winning Super Bowl III.
