Opening day games

The first game of the home season was on April 20, 1916, at the Polo Grounds. John Purroy Mitchel threw the ceremonial first pitch.[1]

Regular season

The 1916 Giants set a still-standing Major League record for the longest winning streak at 26 games between September 7 to 30.[2] Earlier in the season, the Giants had won 17 consecutive games. Despite the winning streaks, no Giants pitcher won 20 games.

For the only time in franchise history,[3] the Giants failed to score a run in a three-game series; they were shut out in all three games against St. Louis, August 20–22.[4][5]

Former Federal League star Benny Kauff led the team in runs batted in and stolen bases.
