About New York Giants

The Giants were one of five teams that joined the NFL in 1925, but the only one admitted that year which still exists. They were founded by Tim Mara back in 1925 for $500.

When they first started the new York also happened to be home to a baseball franchise by the name of Giants. To seperate themselves from them the football team went with the New York National League Football Company, Inc. in 1929 and changed to New York Football Giants, Inc. in 1937. Although the baseball team moved to San Francisco after the 1957 season, the football team continues to use New York Football Giants, Inc. as its legal corporate name, and is often referred to by fans and sportscasters as the New York Football Giants.

The team ranks third among all NFL franchises with seven NFL titles: four in the pre–Super Bowl era (1927, 1934, 1938, 1956) and three since the advent of the Super Bowl (Super Bowls XXI (1986), XXV (1990), and XLII (2007). Their championship tally is surpassed only by the Green Bay Packers (12) and Chicago Bears (9). During their history, the Giants have featured 15 Hall of Fame players, including NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP) award winners Mel Hein, Frank Gifford, Charlie Conerly, Y. A. Tittle, and Lawrence Taylor.
