Though baseball would eventually come to embody the American
spirit, in the nineteenth century onlookers regarded the game with
some ambivalence. To capture the hearts of the public, baseball
needed teams worth watching - and no team was a better ambassador
for baseball in the 19th century than the New York Giants.The pre -
John McGraw Giants were occasionally very good and frequently very
fashionable, but they had not yet become the trademark team of the
National League that they would become in the early 20th century.
The Giants were, however, one of the league's premier teams simply
because they played in the country's premier city. New York and its
Giants epitomized the rise of industrialized America and the need
for organized spectator diversions. Together, the city and the team
helped propel baseball into its position as the national pastime.
