The 1960 major league baseball season began on April 12, 1960. 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. 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. The series ended with Mazeroski hitting a walk-off home run in Game 7 and is among the most memorable in baseball history.
For the second year, there were two separate All-Star Games played. The first, the 28th Major League Baseball All-Star Game, was played on July 11, hosted by the Kansas City Athletics in Kansas City, Missouri, with the National League winning, 5–3. The second, the 29th Major League Baseball All-Star Game, was played on July 13, hosted by the New York Yankees in the Bronx, New York, New York, with the National League winning, 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 ten teams. Expansion would see the end of the 154-game schedule in favor of a 162-game schedule.
