The Giants did it mostly with offense, finishing first in the NL in batting average and home runs. Willie Mays had a great season and was barely beat out by Maury Wills for the MVP award. The Giants and Dodgers finished the season tied for 1st place. The Giants won a 3-game playoff to advance to the World Series. The New York Yankees won the series in seven games. The Giants had runners on second and third in the bottom of the 9th inning but Willie McCovey lined out to Bobby Richardson to end the game and the series.

Alvin was let go by the Giants after the 1964 season after owner Horace Stoneham learned of an extramarital affair. Dark also managed the KC Athletics for almost two seasons (1966 and most of 1967) and the Cleveland Indians for almost four seasons (1968-1971). Alvin came back to the A's in 1974 and they won a World Championship. The A's won the AL West in 1975 under Dark's leadership but he was fired after the A's lost in the ALCS. Dark managed the last 113 games of the 1977 season for the San Diego Padres.

Today in Giants' History -- September 10

1924 - At the Polo Grounds, the Giants rip the Braves 22 - 1 in the opener of a doubleheader. Frankie Frisch goes 6-for-6 before grounding out.

1963: At New York, the Giants trail 3 - 0 after 7 innings when manager Alvin Dark sends up consecutive Alous to bat in the 8th. Pinch hitter Jesus Alou grounds out, pinch hitter Matty Alou strikes out, and leadoff hitter Felipe Alou bounces back to P Carlton Willey. The Giants lose, 4 - 2. Willie McCovey's 38th homer and Orlando Cepeda's 29th account for the SF scoring.

1967: At Candlestick Park, San Francisco hurler Gaylord Perry's 40-inning team record consecutive scoreless streak comes to an end as the Cubs score an unearned run in the seventh inning of 2-1 loss to Giants. The future Hall of Fame member will match his franchise mark with another string of scoreless innings in 1970.

Today in Giants' History -- September 2

1912 - At Boston, Christy Mathewson wins both games for the Giants in a 5 - 2, 6 - 1 sweep of the Braves. In the opener, Matty relieves Rube Marquard in the 9th with score 2 - 2 and tosses three shutout innings. Larry Doyle ends it with a 3-run homer in the 12th. Matty coasts to his 19th win in the nitecap after the Giants chase Ed Doheny with five runs in the 3rd.

1925 - After losing Game One by a 6 - 3 score to the Phils, the Giants unload in a nitecap, 24 - 9 shelling. The hits keep coming - 30 to be exact in a record 58 at-bats - at Baker Bowl. Four New Yorkers each collect four hits apiece, while a ML record-tying ten batters each collect two hits each. Doc Farrell (2-for-3) who takes over for Travis Jackson at short in the 6th is the 10th. Ex-Phil Bob Meusel drives home nine runs, while Rookie Fred Fitzsimmons allows 14 hits, including homers by Cy Williams, Johnny Mokan and Hal Carlson in the 8th frame. Phils starter Art Decatur is the loser.

1955 - After sitting out since August 7 with a broken rib, SS Alvin Dark of the Giants falls and breaks his shoulder in a game against the Phillies.

1975 - Johnnie LeMaster homers in his first ML at bat for the Giants during a 7 - 3 win over Dodgers. In 12 years and 3,191 at bats, LeMaster will hit only 22 home runs, but this first hit is a ML record - an inside the park homer. Brian Downing two years ago was the first player to hit his first homer inside the park.
