The Great 1912 New York Giants
Some articles on John McGraw I read recently got me thinking about the outstanding Giant teams of the early 1910s, which produced National League pennant winners in 1911, ‘12, and ‘13. A few years later, they won another in 1917. Unfortunately for the Giants, all four of these teams lost in the World Series, with the 1911 and ‘13 team losing to Connie Mack’s Athletics, the 1912 team losing to the Red Sox, and the 1917 team losing to the White Sox. McGraw’s fortunes turned around, as his Giants later won four consecutive pennants (1921, 1922, 1923, and 1924), with World Series victories in ’21 and ’22. The 1912 team might be the best Giant team of the era. Together with the 1911 and 1913 teams, they made up one of one of the game’s earliest dynasties, going 303-153 (.664) from 1911-’13.
