1969 San Francisco Giants season

Major League Baseball team season

The 1969 San Francisco Giants season was the Giants' 87th season in Major League Baseball, their 12th season in San Francisco since their move from New York following the 1957 season, and their tenth at Candlestick Park. The team finished second in the newly established National League West with a record of 90–72, 3 games behind the Atlanta Braves, their fifth consecutive season of finishing second. The Giants set a Major League record which still stands for the most double plays grounded into by a team in a single game, with 7 against the Houston Astros on May 4.^[1]
