The Giants played in New York City, they were the New York Giants, the LA Dodgers started in Brooklyn, and when the Dodgers moved to LA, the Giants moved to San Fran as well.

New York Giants, (1885-1957). They played at:
Polo Grounds (IV) (New York) (1911-1957)
Hilltop Park (New York) (1911)
Polo Grounds (III) (New York) (1891-1911)
Polo Grounds (II) (New York) (1889-1890)
St. George Grounds (New York) (1889)
Oakland Park (New Jersey) (1889)
Polo Grounds (I) (New York) (1883-1888)
At this time the Giants were approached by San Francisco. Despite objections from shareholders such as Joan Whitney Payson, majority owner Horace Stoneham entered into negotiations with San Francisco mayor George Christopher around the same time that Dodgers' owner Walter O'Malley was courting the city of Los Angeles. O'Malley, who needed a second team on the West Coast in order to make his move work, pushed Stoneham toward relocation. In the summer of 1957, both the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers announced their moves to San Francisco and Los Angeles, California, and the golden era of baseball in New York City ended.

the New York Giants. They played at the old Polo Grounds in Harlem and the new Polo Grounds in Washington Park until they moved to San Francisco in 1957.

They were the New York Giants where they shared the Polo Grounds with the New York Yankees until 1920 when the Giants told the Yankee organization they were no longer welcome there.
