ARAIGBB 1957 SEASON - STARTING SOON!

 

The 1957 Major League Baseball season was played from April 15 to October 10, 1957. The National League's Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants played their final seasons as New York City-based franchises before their moves to California for the 1958 season, leaving New York without a National League team until the birth of the Mets in 1962.

Noteable: The 1957 season marked the first time that both the American and National League leader in Complete Games had less than 20 Complete Games to lead their league.
