New York Gothams Managers & Finishes

Did you know that this franchise became the New York Giants "officially" in 1885 (click here for their managers) and the modern day San Francisco Giants in 1958 (click here for their managers)?

On June 16, 1883, the New York Gothams held the first Major League "Ladies Day" at their ballpark. Women, with or without a male companion, were admitted for free and the Gothams did not disappoint defeating the Spiders 5-2.
