Baseball History -- August 19

Complete entry for August 19 is at BaseballLibrary.com HERE.

Highlighted entry:
1957
As Horace Stoneham cites poor attendance as the reason for the Giants' move‚ the Giants board of directors votes 8-1 to move to California in 1958‚ as San Francisco promises a new stadium in the Bayview area. The only dissenting vote is by M. Donald Grant.

No one seems to mourn the Giants leaving New York for California. Weird.
