The San Francisco Giants are a storied American professional baseball franchise rooted deep within the vibrant city of San Francisco, California. As a proud member of the National League West Division, they continue to dominate Major League Baseball (MLB) and proudly hold the title of current World Champions. Born as the New York Gothams, this team made its historic move to San Francisco in 1958. As one of the most enduring professional baseball teams, the franchise boasts an impressive record of winning the most games in American baseball history, surpassing any North American sports team. Originally based in New York City, they famously took to the field at the iconic Polo Grounds, a legendary stadium that still echoes with their rich history. With an astonishing 23 National League pennants and 20 World Series appearances under their belt – both unprecedented records in the National League – the Giants are a force to be reckoned with. Their impressive eight World Series Championships rank second only to the St. Louis Cardinals' 11 titles, while tying them for fourth overall with the Boston Red Sox behind the New York Yankees' 27 championships and the Oakland Athletics' nine. The Giants have proudly represented themselves in the World Series an impressive 20 times – 14 of those appearances taking place in New York and six in San Francisco, with their most recent showing being in 2014. However, they did boycott the event in 1904, a decision that still resonates today.
