The 1912 New York Giants have had an impressive first two weeks of the season, as they’ve jumped out to a 7-1 record with a two-game lead in the standings. They’ve been winning close games, with five of their seven victories coming by one or two runs. The 1915 Philadelphia Phillies are the only other team to play eight games and post a winning record (5-3) thus far. But, they just lost three out of four to the 1911 Philadelphia Athletics in their first series of the season.
