1890 new york giants (pl) season
the giants were founded in 1925 by original owner tim mara with an investment of $500. legally named "new york football giants" (which they still are to this day) to distinguish themselves from the baseball team of the same name, they became one of the first teams in the then five-year-old national football league. in 1919, charles stoneham, the owner of the new york giants baseball team, had organized and promoted a professional football team to be called the new york giants. the team folded before its first game, a casualty of a dispute over the city's blue laws. this early giants football team would eventually make it to play as the brooklyn giants in 1921, playing two games in the nfl before dropping out, and eventually folded in 1923 after two years as an independent. when the nfl sought to return to new york city, it approached one of the brooklyn giants' owners, promoter billy gibson, about reviving the team; he instead referred the league to mara, who paid a $500 franchise fee and accepted a place in the nfl, keeping the giants name.
