Major League Baseball season
Major League Baseball team season
The
1904
New York Giants
season
was the 22nd season in franchise history. They led the
National League
in both runs scored and fewest runs allowed, on their way to 106 wins and the
pennant
.
The first modern
World Series
had been played the previous year, but manager
John McGraw
and owner
John T. Brush
refused to play the
American League
champion
Boston Americans
in a
World Series
. They would change their position the following year.
Regular season
[

]
The Giants had little offensive firepower in this pitching-dominated era but scored using a balanced lineup and a lot of small-ball tactics formerly employed by manager McGraw in his playing days. The lineup featured three of the top five stolen base leaders in the majors:
Bill Dahlen
,
Sam Mertes
, and
Dan McGann
.
They also had one of the greatest pitching duos of all-time in
Joe McGinnity
and
Christy Mathewson
, who each had arguably the greatest seasons in their Hall of Fame careers. They combined for 68 wins ? a 20th-century record for two pitchers on the same team.
