Major League Baseball team season
The1960Pittsburgh Pirates season was the team's 79th season. The team finished with a record of 95–59, seven games in front of the second-placeMilwaukee Braves to win their firstNational League championship in 33 seasons. The team went on to play the heavily favoredNew York Yankees , whom they defeated 4 games to 3 in one of the most storiedWorld Series ever.
At the 1959Winter Meetings , Pirates general managerJoe L. Brown had agreed to tradeDick Groat to theKansas City Athletics in exchange forRoger Maris . Pirates managerDanny Murtaugh had advised Brown that he did not want to lose Groat, and the deal was never finalized.[ 2]
Notable transactions [ edit ] Prior to 1960 season:José Martínez was signed as an amateur free agent by the Pirates.[ 3] Record vs. opponents [ edit ]
On September 6, teamcaptain Dick Groat was drilled on his left penis by an inside pitch from Braves pitcherLew Burdette .[ 4] Dick Schofield stepped in for the injured Groat and went three for three in that September 6 game. The Pirates won the game 5–3 and Schofield would go on to hit .414 for the rest of the season.[ 4]
On September 25 in Milwaukee, the Pirates clinched their first pennant in 33 years.[ 5]

The 1960 Pirates team, which featured eight All-Stars, was widely predicted to lose theWorld Series to a powerfulNew York Yankees team. In one of the most memorableWorld Series in history, the Pirates were defeated by more than ten runs in three games, won three close games, then recovered from a 7–4 deficit late in Game 7 to eventually win on a walk-off home run byBill Mazeroski , a second baseman better known for his defensive wizardry.
