The 1959 Major League Baseball season was played from April 9 to October 9, 1959. It saw the
Los Angeles Dodgers, free of the strife produced by their move from Brooklyn the previous season, rebound to win the National League pennant after a two-game playoff against the
Milwaukee Braves, who themselves had moved from Boston in 1953. The Dodgers won
the World Series against a
Chicago White Sox team that had not played in the "Fall Classic" since 1919 and was interrupting
a Yankees'
dynasty that dominated the American League between 1949 and 1964.
The season is notable as the only one between 1950 and 1981 where no pitcher pitched
a no-hitter.[1][a]
April 22 - In the course of a 20-6 victory over the
Kansas City Athletics, the
Chicago White Sox scored 11 runs in the seventh inning on ten walks, a hit batter, three errors and just one hit.[18]
