The1927New York Giants season was the franchise's 45th season. The team finished third in theNational League with a record of 92–62, 2 games behind thePittsburgh Pirates.
During the offseason, the Giants acquiredRogers Hornsby from theSt. Louis Cardinals forFrankie Frisch andJimmy Ring. Hornsby's offensive numbers rebounded in 1927, as he hit .361 and led the league in runs scored (133), walks (86), and an on-base percentage (.448). The deal was held up because Hornsby, as part of his contract as the manager of the Cardinals (he was a player-manager at the time), owned several shares of stock in the Cardinals. Cardinals ownerSam Breadon offered Hornsby a sum for the stock considerably lower than what Hornsby demanded for it, and neither would budge. Eventually, the other owners of theNational League made up the difference, and the trade went through.
