About Polo Grounds IV
Built in 1890 as Brotherhood Park for the Players' League, this Polo Grounds hosted the New York Giants for decades after the Players' League folded and the Giants moved over from their previous grounds next door. A fire destroyed the wooden grandstands in 1911, and the park was rebuilt in concrete and steel with its distinctive horseshoe shape and famously short foul lines paired with a deep center field. The Giants played here until moving to San Francisco after the 1957 season, and the expansion Mets used it as a temporary home in 1962 and 1963 before Shea Stadium opened.
