Editing 1960s (section)

====Baseball====
The first wave of [[Major League Baseball]] expansion in 1961 included the formation of the [[Los Angeles Angels]], the move to Minnesota to become the [[Minnesota Twins]] by the [[Washington Senators (1901–60)|former Washington Senators]] and the formation of a [[Washington Senators (1961–71)|new franchise called the Washington Senators]]. Major League Baseball sanctioned both the [[Houston Colt .45s]] and the [[New York Mets]] as new [[National League (baseball)|National League]] franchises in 1962.

In 1969, the [[American League]] expanded when the [[Kansas City Royals]] and [[Seattle Pilots]], were admitted to the league prompting the expansion of the post-season (in the form of the [[League Championship Series]]) for the first time since the creation of the World Series. The Pilots stayed just one season in Seattle before moving and becoming the [[Milwaukee Brewers]] in 1970. The National League also added two teams in 1969, the [[Montreal Expos]] and [[San Diego Padres]]. By 1969, the New York Mets won the [[World Series]] in only the 8th year of the team's existence.
