The New York Giants

By John Steinbreder

Book Overview

The remarkable story of the Giants, one of the most respected franchises in all of American sports, began in 1925 when Timothy J. Mara plunked down $500 for the rights to start a New York franchise in the fledgling National Football League. His first squad, which included the legendary Jim Thorpe, played one of its first games against the Red Grange-led Chicago Bears before 70,000 roaring fans at the Polo Grounds in upper Manhattan.
