History: When Walter O’Malley decided to move his Brooklyn club West for the 1958 season, it was thought that having a two-team rivalry on the West Coast would boost interest and mitigate travel costs. The Giants had been struggling to draw fans to the Polo Grounds, despite their winning pennants as recently as 1954 and 1951, so Giants owner Horace Stoneham decided to join O’Malley and move his franchise to the City By The Bay. The Giants moved into Seals Stadium, longtime home of San Francisco’s Pacific Coast League teams. The former New York City rivalry was transplanted to California, and on April 15th, 1958, the Giants defeated the Dodgers 8-0 in the first MLB game on the West Coast. The team would move into new Candlestick Park two years later.
