History

Historical Context

In 1961, Major League Baseball expanded by adding the New York Mets and the Houston Colt .45s, marking a significant shift in the league's structure. This expansion was a response to the relocation of the Dodgers and Giants to California, and it aimed to counter the threat of the proposed Continental League. The league's growth continued, eventually reaching 30 franchises.
