A visit to the site of the Giants’ original San Francisco home, Seals Stadium

SAN FRANCISCO — So I was in the Bay Area visiting my dad over the All-Star break, and I thought I’d spend a bit of time visiting the site of the original home of the Giants when they moved to San Francisco in 1958, Seals Stadium.

Truth be told, this ballpark has been gone for more than 60 years and the only sign that baseball was once played there is a marker in the sidewalk at the corner of 16th & Bryant, which was the corner where the park entry was located:

That marker was placed in 2008, on the 50th anniversary of the Giants’ first game in San Francisco, which happened Tuesday, April 15, 1958.
