Introduction: We investigated the winning percentage of the Dodgers and Giants franchise before and after they moved from New York City to California. In 1958, the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers moved to San Francisco and Los Angeles respectively. Before 1958, the farthest team to the west was the Kansas City Athletics. The Giants and Dodgers moving west was a big move for Major League Baseball. We hypothesized that the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers would have high home winning percentages. We believed this would be the case because teams would have to make the long trek out west and would struggle due to travel effects. Methods: Using the Retrosheet data frame, we were able to find the home winning percentages for the Dodgers and Giants. We looked at the last ten years the Dodgers and Giants played in New York and the first ten-year the Dodgers and Giants played in California. From this data we are able to find an overall home winning percentage before and after the move to California. Findings: We found that teams did not necessarily have a better winning percentage at home after the move compared to before. The Giants had a home winning percentage of 58.8% ten years before the move and had a home winning percentage of 59.5% the first ten years after the move. The Dodgers had a home winning percentage of 62.3% ten years before the move and had a home winning percentage of 57.3% the first ten years after the move. Discussion: Based on our findings, we disputed our original hypothesis that there is a difference in home winning percentage before and after the move. This might have happened because the actual quality of the teams changed meaning the Dodgers and Giants performances declined to lack of good players. We also thought that the teams traveling to the west coast may not have been affected as heavily as we thought.
