Then in 1890 the Players' League leased the other half and built their own ballpark, which they called Brotherhood Park, separated from the Polo Grounds by an alley. When the PL dissolved, the NY team's owners ended up with a stake in the NL Giants and it was decided to move the Giants into Brotherhood Park, which got renamed the Polo Grounds (and which is the Polo Grounds that lasted until 1911) while the 1889 NL Polo Grounds became Manhattan Park.
