The 1951 New York Giants season saw the Giants finish first in the National League with a record of 98 wins and 59 losses. At the end of the season, they were tied with their arch-rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers for first place in the League, prompting a three-game playoff for the pennant. In the third game, Bobby Thomson hit a stunning walk-off home run to clinch the pennant for the Giants, a moment immortalized as the Shot Heard 'Round the World (discussed in more detail below). The Giants, however, lost the 1951 World Series to the New York Yankees in six games.
Giants center fielder Willie Mays won the 1951 National League Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow outfielder Monte Irvin led the league in RBI with 121.
