The American League went to a 162 game schedule when it expanded from 8 to 10 teams in 1961. The National League went to 162 the next year, 1962 when it also expanded to 10 teams.

The Giants won the playoff two wins to one, but went on to lose the World Series to the New York Yankees 4 games to 3.
