The 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates season was the team's 79th season. The team finished with a record of 95–59–1, seven games in front of the second-place Milwaukee Braves to win their first National League championship in 33 seasons. The team went on to play the heavily favored New York Yankees , whom they defeated 4 games to 3 in one of the most storied World Series ever.
Offseason [ ]
At the 1959 Winter Meetings , Pirates general manager Joe L. Brown had agreed to trade Dick Groat to the Kansas City Athletics in exchange for Roger Maris . Pirates manager Danny Murtaugh had advised Brown that he did not want to lose Groat, and the deal was never finalized.[1]
Notable transactions [ ]
Prior to 1960 season: José Martínez was signed as an amateur free agent by the Pirates.[2]

1960 World Series [ ]
Template:Main article
The 1960 Pirates team, which featured eight All-Stars, was widely predicted to lose the World Series to a powerful New York Yankees team.[citation needed ] In one of the most memorable World 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 by Bill Mazeroski , a second baseman better known for defensive wizardry.
