Spent the weekend in Cooperstown. There are so many photos, artifacts, momentos from both the NY Giants & SF Giants. If you haven’t done so, put the MLB HALL OF FAME on your “Bucket List”. I have downloaded 5o pictures having to do with the NY Giants. Just hit PHOTOS on the tool bar, sign into the Yahoo Group and then click on Photos.-Gary

THE HALL OF FAME NY GIANTS
(Click to enlarge)
With Hall of Fame Induction Weekend at Cooperstown, NY, less than 2 weeks away, we at the NYGPS thought it would be a great idea to list the 45 NY Giants who have been enshrined into the Baseball Hall of Fame. They are listed alphabetically with the year of their induction: Some of the players were mainstays of the team, while others had the proverbial “cup of coffee” with the club. Please also go to the Photo page as well to check out the plaques that reside in Cooperstown of these legendary players.-Gary

There are no words!-Gary
“We’re calling all fans,
All you Giants ball fans,
Come watch the home team,
Going places round those bases
Cheer for your favorites out at Coogan’s Bluff,
Come watch our Polo Grounders
Do their stuff!!!”
MR. PETER MAGOWAN SPEAKS AT NY GIANTS NIGHT AT AT&T PARK ON JUNE 26

NYGPS Member and long time NY Giants Fan and SF Giants Principal Partner, Peter Magowan gave his thoughts to the gathering on NY Giants Night at AT&T on June 26. Here is his speech:
“One of the great advantages of being a Giants Fan is to know that you are a part of a very proud history. There are very few sports organizations that have the tradition and memories that we Giants Fans enjoy.
That tradition now extends to 132 years, and obviously includes the many years that the franchise was in New York City. Even though the team is now in San Francisco it is important to remember where we came from and what we stood for, and that is what the New York Giants Preservation Society – led by Steve Rothschild and Gary Mintz who are here tonight – are determined to do.
With us tonight to remind us of our New York origins is Ed Logan – the last batboy for the New York Giants. His father was the clubhouse manager both in New York and San Francisco. Also with us is our beloved Mike Murphy – the first batboy for the San Francisco Giants, and soon thereafter our clubhouse manager, in fact, for the last 32, our only clubhouse manager. If there is a symbol of the history and tradition of the Giants, who is more deserving than Murph.
