Seasons

The 1930 New York Giants season was the 48th in franchise history. The team finished third in the National League with a record of 87–67, 5 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals.[1]

Regular season

Giants player Bill Terry was the last member of the Giants, and the last National League player in the 20th century, to have a batting average of .400 in one season.[2] In the process, he tied the National League record – set the previous year by Lefty O'Doul – for most hits in a single season with 254.[3] As of the end of the 2020 season, that record still stands.[3]

The Giants set a record for the highest team batting average (.319) in the modern era (since 1901).[4] The team's totals of 1,769 hits and 2,628 total bases both set single season franchise records.[5][6]
