In 1957 Horace Stoneham took his Giants of New York baseball team and headed west, starting a gold rush with bats and balls rather than pans and mines. But San Francisco already had a team, the Seals of the Pacific Coast League, and West Coast fans did not immediately embrace the newcomers.Starting with the franchises earliest days and following the team up to recent World Series glory, Home Team chronicles the story of the Giants and their often topsyturvy relationship with the city of San Francisco. Robert F. Garratt shines light on those who worked behind the scenes in the story of West Coast baseball: the politicians, businessmen, and owners who were instrumental in the clubs history.Home Team presents Stoneham, often left in the shadow of Dodgers owner Walter OMalley, as a true baseball pioneer in his willingness to sign black and Latino players and his recruitment of the first Japanese player in the Major Leagues, making the Giants one of the most integrated teams in baseball in the early 1960s. Garratt also records the turbulent times, poor results, declining attendance, two nearmoves away from California, and the role of postStoneham owners Bob Lurie and Peter Magowan in the Giants eventual reemergence as a baseball powerhouse. Garratts superb history of this great ball club makes the Giants story one of the most compelling of all Major League franchises.Purchase the audio edition.
