Affiliation with Indianapolis?

[edit]

Please see my post in the discussion at the SF Giants page:

Also, I believe the St. Louis NL team was moved from St. Louis to Indianapolis and renamed the Hoosiers. The book cited in the above discussion states this. The St. Louis stats end in 1886. The Hoosiers stats start in 1887. The 1887-1889 Hoosiers roster also includes 9 of the players from the St. Louis Maroons, one of whom later became a player/manager for the Hoosiers then later went on to the Giants (Jack Glasscock). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Conanian (talkcontribs) 14:53, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure how to rephrase this...

[edit]

"The San Francisco Giants existed in the New York metropolitan area from 1883–1957. " No, the San Francisco Giants DID NOT exist in NY, the New York Giants did.The team is the same, but there IS a distinction there. --Khajidha (talk) 12:48, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it to "Major League Baseball's Giants franchise home was in the New York metropolitan area from..." – wbm1058 (talk) 14:04, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I took a run at making a more comprehensive revision to the intro. I tried to keep the correctness of phrasing Wbm1058 brought while also shuffling sentence order and pruning some links that I felt were more trouble than they were worth. Hopefully the result feels a bit lighter and easier to read while still hitting all the critical points! —jameslucas ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ 20:42, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 18 April 2022

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to New York Giants (baseball) The relevant guideline allows for a partial DAB in certain cases, and there's a consensus that this case meets that higher standard for primary topic. Galobtter (pingó mió) 20:50, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]


New York Giants (National League) → ? – This page was moved per an RfC, and was disputed by User:Discographer on my talk page. I'll list the choices here, which are open for discussion. Bison X (talk) 23:00, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  1. History of the New York Giants (baseball)New York Giants (National League)
  2. History of the New York Giants (baseball) → New York Giants (baseball)
  3. History of the New York Giants (baseball) → New York Giants (MLB)
The Player's League team included five future Hall of Famers. Of course all other forms should be redirect's to the main NL team, but 'National League' fulfills encyclopedic accuracy. Randy Kryn (talk) 04:00, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
While there are other things known as "National League", I'll point out that Major League Baseball's National League is in fact the primary topic. 162 etc. (talk) 15:01, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
