New York Giants History:
- Tim Mara reportedly purchased New York’s first professional football team for $500 in 1925. The name “Giants” was “taken” by Tim Mara from the city’s Major League Baseball team. Mara favoured the Giants because he could bring his team to the Polo Grounds, the baseball team’s home field. Originating from the city’s towering architecture, the Giants were given their name.
- The Giants remain a family-run enterprise. Tim Mara, the team’s founder, passed the organization on to his sons Jack and Wellington. Currently, John Mara (Wellington’s son) is the team’s principal owner, representing the third generation of his family to own the Giants.
- The New York Giants are one of the most successful teams in NFL history, having won eight league titles (four in the pre-Super Bowl period and four in the Super Bowl era).
- In 1958, the Giants made it to the NFL Championship Game, but they lost in overtime to the Baltimore Colts, 23-17. The Greatest Game Ever Played gained notoriety and boosted interest in the National Football League because of this contest.
- The New York Giants’ victory in Super Bowl XLII was the final nail in the coffin for the New England Patriots perfect season hopes. In Super Bowl XLVI, four years later, they won yet again by defeating the Patriots.
