The 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates season was the team's 79th season. The 95-59 team of 1960, which finished seven games in front of the second-place Milwaukee Braves to win their first National League championship in 33 seasons, featured eight All-Stars, but 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.

Offseason

Prior to 1960 season: José Martínez was signed as an amateur free agent by the Pirates.^[1]

Regular season

September 6, 1960: Team captain Dick Groat was drilled on his left wrist by an inside pitch from Braves pitcher Lew Burdette.^[2] Groat was lost for the rest of the season. 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.^[2]
September 25, 1960: In Milwaukee, the Pirates clinched their first pennant in 33 years.^[3]
