1962 Major League Baseball season

The 1962 Major League Baseball season was contested from April to October 1962. The National League played a 162-game schedule for the first time, having added the Houston Colt .45s and the New York Mets as expansion teams. The American League had played its first 162-game schedule a year earlier. The NL returned to New York City after a four-year absence, though the Mets would finish in last place.

In the World Series the New York Yankees defeated the San Francisco Giants 4 games to 3.
