The regular season ended on October 2, with the Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees as the regular season champions of the National League and American League, respectively. The postseason began with Game 1 of the 57th World Series on October 5 and ended with Game 7 on October 13. In the second iteration of this World Series matchup, the Pirates, led by second baseman Bill Mazeroski, defeated the Yankees, led by outfield sluggers Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris, four games to three, capturing their third championship in franchise history, since their previous in 1925. The series ended with Mazeroski hitting a walk-off home run in Game 7 and is among the most memorable in baseball history. Going into the season, the defending World Series champions were the Los Angeles Dodgers from the 1959 season. For the second year, there were two separate All-Star Games played. The first, the 28th All-Star Game, was held on July 11 at Municipal Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, home of the Kansas City Athletics. The National League won, 5–3. The second, the 29th All-Star Game, was held on July 13 at Yankee Stadium in New York, New York, home of the New York Yankees. The National League won, 6–0. The American League's Washington Senators played their final season in Washington, D.C. before moving to the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area as the Minnesota Twins for the 1961 season. Due to threats of the proposed Continental League, a third major league which would host teams in cities that did not play major-league teams (as well as a National League New York team), the 1960 season would prove to be the final season before the expansion-era; the following season would see the American League grow to 10 teams, ending the 16-team hegemony across the American and National Leagues that had existed for most of the 20th century to this point. Expansion would also see the end of the 154-game schedule in favor of a 162-game schedule. Following the end of the previous season, the two leagues saw their first interleague trade on November 21, when the Chicago Cubs received 1B Dick Gernert from the Boston Red Sox, in exchange for RHP Dave Hillman and 1B Jim Marshall.Henry Alan P. Kritzler David 1959 Winter Meetings: Winds of Change – Society for American Baseball Research https://sabr.org/journal/article/1959-winter-meetings-winds-of-change/ 2025-07-15 en-US Schedule Major League Baseball schedule The 1960 schedule consisted of 154 games for all teams in the American League and National League, each of which had eight teams. Each team was scheduled to play 22 games against the other seven teams of their respective league. This continued the format put in place since the 1904 season (except for 1919) and was the last season to use the format by the American League due to the 1961 American League expansion, which saw an extension of the schedule to 162 games. The National League would use the 154-game format for one more season. National League Opening Day took place on April 12, featuring all eight teams, while American League Opening Day took place on April 18, featuring the Boston Red Sox and Washington Senators. The final day of the regular season was on October 2, which saw all sixteen teams play, continuing the trend since the previous season. The World Series took place between October 5 and October 13. Rule change The 1960 season saw the following rule change: While previously, drafted players to major-league or minor-league teams were based on a sliding scale ($15,000 (US 15000 1960 eq -3) in the majors to at most half the amount to as low as a fifth the amount in the minors), a $12,000 (US 12000 1960 eq -3) price tag was set at all levels of professional baseball.
