In 1957 Horace Stoneham took his Giants of New York baseball team and headed to San Francisco. Home Team presents Stoneham as a true baseball pioneer in his willingness to sign black and Latino players and his recruitment of the first Japanese player in the Major Leagues, making the Giants one of the most integrated teams in baseball in the early 1960s. Garratt concentrates on the business side, covering the turbulent times, poor results, declining attendance, two near-moves away from California, and the role of post-Stoneham owners Bob Lurie and Peter Magowan in the Giants’ eventual reemergence as a baseball powerhouse. Also cover the move from Candlestick Park.
