The 1924 New York Giants season was the franchise's 42nd season. The team finished first in the National League with a record of 93âÂÂ60, winning the NL pennant for a record fourth consecutive season, a record that still stands today. They went on to the World Series, losing to the Washington Senators in seven games.
In the final series of the 1924 season, the Giants were playing the Philadelphia Phillies at the Polo Grounds and battling for the pennant with the Robins. Giants outfielder Jimmy O'Connell offered Phillies shortstop Heinie Sand $500 to throw the games. Sand rejected the bribe and reported it to Phillies manager Art Fletcher. It eventually led to the lifetime suspension of O'Connell and Giants coach Cozy Dolan by Commissioner Landis, although future-Hall of Famers Frankie Frisch, George Kelly, and Ross Youngs were also implicated.
