    After a slow start, the team went 50–12 over their final 62 games to complete one of the biggest comebacks in major league history. Longstanding rumors that the Giants engaged in systematic sign stealing during the second half of the 1951 season were confirmed in 2001. Several players told The Wall Street Journal that beginning on July 20, the team used a telescope, manned by coach Herman Franks in the Giants clubhouse behind center field, to steal the finger signals of those opposing catchers who left their signs unprotected. Stolen signs were relayed to the Giants dugout via a buzzer wire.[9] Joshua Prager, the author of the Journal article, outlined the evidence in greater detail in a 2008 book.[10] He noted that sign stealing, then as now, is not specifically forbidden by MLB rules and, moral issues aside, "has been a part of baseball since its inception."[11]

    3 game playoff in 1951

    You really have to go back and look at the terrible luck those Dodgers teams of the late 49s and 50s had

    Should have as many WS as NYY

    Giants beat the Dodgers in a best of 3 playoff for the pennant in 1962. This was before the current playoff system
