After the 1893 Season, George Van Haltren’s contract was sold to the New York Giants, and this is where he spent the next seasons, which by far eclipsed the first portion of his career.

A starting Outfielder for most of his time in New York, Van Haltren compiled at least 175 Hits in his first eight years with the Giants and batted over .300 in all of those seasons.  A competent hitter, Van Haltren could also do damage on the bases and swiped 320 in New York.

As a Giant, Van Haltren amassed 1,580 Hits with a .321 Batting Average.
