The 1914 New York Giants season was the franchise's 32nd season. The team finished in second place in the National League with an 84–70 record, 10½ games behind the "Miracle Braves." They had finished first the three previous years.
This team featured two Hall of Fame pitchers: Christy Mathewson, one of the greatest ever, and Rube Marquard, whose selection is considered by some to be controversial.[1]
The offense scored the most runs in the league, even though no individual player drove in more than 79. The eight starters, however, all had an OPS+ of over 100. George Burns led the team with a .303 average and walked 89 times en route to a .403 on-base percentage.
