The 1905 New York Giants season was the franchise's 23rd season, and the team won their second consecutive National League pennant. They beat the Philadelphia Athletics in the World Series . This team featured three Hall of Fame players – catcher Roger Bresnahan , and pitchers Christy Mathewson and Joe McGinnity – along with Hall of Fame manager John McGraw .
Regular season [ edit ]
Mathewson won the pitching triple crown and then had one of the greatest World Series performances of all-time, with three shutouts in six days. Only six men pitched for the Giants in 1905. The offense, led by "Turkey" Mike Donlin , scored the most runs in the majors.
On June 29, Archie "Moonlight" Graham , made famous through the novel Shoeless Joe and subsequent movie "Field of Dreams ", made his lone major league appearance.[ 1]
