Baseball 1960 will be remembered as the
year Ted Williams retired with a Frank Merriwell flourish and Stan Musial didn't; the
year the Pittsburgh Pirates won a pennant and made the oldtimers happy by hitting behind the runner; the
year the
New York Yankees took a.001 lead into the second
week of September then vigorously won the race with 15 straight and a record number
of home runs (193); and the
year nice guys Warren Spahn, Pete Runnels and Dick Groat finished
first.
