San Francisco Giants The San Francisco Giants are a Major League Baseball team based in San Francisco, California that currently play in the National League West Division. One of the most storied clubs in American professional sports, the Giants began life as the second baseball club founded by John B. Day and Jim Mutrie. The Gothams (as the Giants were originally known) were their entry to the National League in 1883, while their other club, the Metropolitans (the original Mets) played in the American Association. Nearly half of the original Gotham players were members of the recently disbanded Troy Trojans, whose place in the National League the Gothams inherited. While the Metropolitans were initially the more successful club, Day and Mutrie began moving star players to the Gothams and the team won its first National League pennant in 1888, as well as a victory over the St. Louis Browns in an early incarnation of the World Series.

Suzuki's Record Captures Attention In Japan The high praise in Japan for Ichiro Suzuki came from none other than the country's home run king, Sadaharu Oh.

Suzuki Sets Mark With 9th Straight 200-Hit Season Seattle Mariners right fielder Ichiro Suzuki became the first player in major league history with at least 200 hits in nine straight seasons.

In his second at-bat of the game, Suzuki beat out a slow roller to shortstop Elvis Andrus. Suzuki had shared the record with Willie Keeler, who had eight consecutive 200-hit seasons from 1894 to 1901.

Wright was definitely swinging early, hitting a two-out, two-run homer to rally the visiting Mets to a 10-9 victory Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies.
