Day Jim Mutrie List of San Francisco Giants seasons The 1889 New York Giants season was the franchise's seventh season. The team finished first in the National League with a record of 83–43. They beat the Boston Beaneaters by just one game. The Beaneaters won the same number of games as the Giants, but lost two more games, giving the pennant to the Giants. The Giants went on to face the American Association champion Brooklyn Bridegrooms in the World Series, winning six games to three. The series marked the first meeting between the Giants and the team that would become the Dodgers, a rivalry that continues to this day. In the opening series of the season on April 24–25, the Giants hosted a two-game series against the Boston Beaneaters in Oakland Park, Jersey City, New Jersey, before playing the rest of April, May, and June at the St. George Cricket Grounds (of the former New York Metropolitans) in the then-new community of St. George on Staten Island. From July on, following a lengthy road trip, the Giants played at the newly relocated Polo Grounds.
