Welcome to the first countdown post in our series of MLB team rankings for the 1960s. After decades with eight teams per league, the 1960s brought two waves of expansion – two new AL teams in 1961, two new NL teams in 1962, and two more for both in 1969. As a reminder, the teams are ranked from #20 through #1 based on aggregate WAR162. For the 1960s (1960-1969), a total of 198 teams were eligible, so the top 20 teams are a rather exclusive group – the top 10% for the decade. We’ll summarize each team, including portions of their team dashboard, and explain how they attained their ranking. So, without further ado, here are the teams ranked #20 through #16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the interactive dashboard at Tableau Public: 1960s Top 20 MLB Teams Dashboard<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#20: 1965 Los Angeles Dodgers, 47.3 WAR162<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 1965 Dodgers held off the rival Giants by two games to claim the NL pennant. The Dodgers projected as a 92-win team, so they were fortunate to win 97 games, but they made the most of it by defeating the Twins in a 7-game World Series.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Offense was not a strength for the Dodgers – their 608 runs placed 8th in a 10-team league, and they hit the fewest homers in the NL. Even within the pitching-friendly environment at Dodger Stadium, these were low numbers. The Dodgers ranked 7th, 6th, and 8th, respectively, in BA, OBP, and OPS. Fortunately, they had exceptional pitching, with league-leading numbers in ERA, WHIP, and shutouts, and ranked near the top in strikeouts and walks.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Maury Wills<\/a> swiped 94 bases to lead the NL, while batting .286 and scoring 92 runs. His double-play partner Jim Lefebvre<\/a> was effective at second base, earning Rookie of the Year honors, and Ron Fairly<\/a> batted .274 with a .361 OBP. Additional support came from veteran Jim Gilliam<\/a> (.280 BA), Wes Parker<\/a>, and Willie Davis<\/a> (25 steals). Interestingly, Wills, Lefebvre, Gilliam, and Parker were all switch-hitters, while Davis and Fairly batted from the left side. Sandy Koufax<\/a> had a monster season, going 26-8 with a 2.04 ERA, 382 strikeouts, and a 0.855 WHIP, topping the NL in each category and winning the Cy Young<\/a> award. Don Drysdale<\/a> was an excellent second option, going 23-12 with a 2.77 ERA, and Claude Osteen<\/a> added another 15 wins with a 2.79 ERA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#19: 1968 St. Louis Cardinals, 47.8 WAR162<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Cardinals repeated as NL champs, defeating the Giants by 9 games before losing to the Tigers in a dramatic 7-game World Series.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Cardinals’ offense was quite average, tying for fourth in runs scored, and ranking just 8th (of 10) in home runs. They did place second in stolen bases, but were fourth or worse in BA, OBP, and OPS. The pitching was exceptional, even by the standards of the so-called Year of the Pitcher (NL-average ERA of 2.99). The Cards’ ERA of 2.49 topped the league, as did their 1.120 WHIP and 30 shutouts. They also ranked near the top in strikeouts and walks.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lou Brock<\/a> led the league in three metrics – doubles (46), triples (14), and steals (62). Outfield mate Curt Flood<\/a> batted .301, and Mike Shannon<\/a> had 15 homers and 79 RBI. Bob Gibson<\/a> compiled a season for the ages with a 22-9 mark, 268 strikeouts, 13 shutouts, and a 1.12 ERA on his way to Cy Young and MVP honors. Ray Washburn<\/a> posted a 14-8 record with a 2.26 ERA, and a young Steve Carlton<\/a> provided a glimpse of the future with 13 wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#18: 1967 San Francisco Giants, 48.0 WAR162<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Giants finished second in the 1967 NL pennant race, trailing the Cardinals by 10.5 games. According to Pythagorean projections, the gap should have been about 4 games, but the Cardinals were clearly the better club.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Giants were a middle-of-the-pack offensive team, ranking 4th in runs and OPS, 6th in BA, and 5th in OBP. The team did have some power, trailing only the Braves in home runs. Pitching made the Giants a contender, as their 2.92 ERA and 1.177 WHIP topped the league. They ranked a bit lower in other metrics, but always above the NL average.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Third baseman Jim Ray Hart<\/a> had a fine season, belting 29 homers to go with a .289 BA, 99 homers, and 98 runs scored. Willie McCovey<\/a> led the Giants with 31 homers while batting .276 with 91 RBI, and 36-year-old Willie Mays<\/a> added 22 homers. Tom Haller<\/a> had an all-star season behind the plate, adding 14 homers to the mix. Gaylord Perry<\/a> had a bad-luck 15-17 record despite his 2.61 ERA, while Ray Sadecki<\/a> won 12 with a 2.78 ERA, and Mike McCormick<\/a> claimed the Cy Young with a 22-10 mark and 2.85 ERA. Juan Marichal<\/a> had a quiet season by his lofty standards, posting a 14-10 mark with a 2.76 ERA. He also posted the highest strikeout-to-walk rate in the NL. This foursome provided the Giants with a deep and consistent pitching staff for the 1967 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#17: 1966 Baltimore Orioles, 48.0 WAR162<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 1966 Orioles topped the AL, beating the Twins by a solid 9-game margin to claim the AL pennant. The O’s then stunned the Dodgers in a 4-game World Series sweep. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The 1966 edition of the Orioles had a strong offense relative to their AL rivals. Their 755 runs were 36 more than the Tigers managed, and they finished just behind Detroit with 175 homers on the season. The team also led the AL with 243 doubles, and made a clean sweep of the BA, OBP, SLG, and OPS categories. The Orioles’ pitching was decidedly more ordinary, but possessed some young talent that would emerge over the next several seasons. The O’s ranked 4th in ERA and WHIP, and second in strikeouts behind the Indians.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Triple Crown winner Frank Robinson<\/a> was the offensive standout, leading the league in numerous batting metrics. Robinson batted .316 with a .410 OBP, 1.047 OPS, 122 runs scored, and 49 homers with 122 RBI on his way to MVP honors. His primary support came from defensive standout Brooks Robinson<\/a> (23 homers, 100 RBI) and slugging first baseman Boog Powell<\/a> (34 homers, 109 RBI). Shortstop Luis Aparicio<\/a> added speed to the O’s lineup, swiping 25 bases and scoring 97 runs. The pitching staff was led by veteran Steve Barber<\/a>, who posted a 10-5 record with 3 shutouts and a 2.30 ERA. Youngsters Dave McNally<\/a> (age 23, 13-6 record) and Jim Palmer<\/a> (age 20, 15-10 mark) provided a glimpse of future greatness on the mound for the Orioles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#16: 1965 Pittsburgh Pirates, 48.1 WAR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The <\/mark>Pirates finished third in the 1965 NL pennant race, trailing the Dodgers by 7 games and the Giants by 5 games. However, Pythagorean win projections have the Dodgers and Pirates at 92 wins, and the Giants at 91. The Dodgers and Giants had some favorable luck on their side; the Pirates did not.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Pirates were not impressive offensively, finishing 5th in runs, 6th in homers, and 3rd in OPS. They were a bit better in the BA and OBP categories, ranking second behind the Reds. The Pirates’ pitching was solid, with the second-best NL ERA and 3rd-place rankings in shutouts and WHIP. The staff was average at best in the walk and strikeout categories.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Roberto Clemente<\/a> led the NL with a .329 average while scoring 91 runs and adding 14 triples along with his superlative defense. Young shortstop Gene Alley<\/a> provided excellent defense, and Willie Stargell<\/a> bopped 27 homers with 107 RBI. Catcher Jim Pagliaroni<\/a> added 17 homers, and Donn Clendenon<\/a> had 17 homers and a .301 BA. Vern Law<\/a> had a terrific age-35 season, posting a 17-9 record with a 2.15 ERA, while Bob Veale<\/a> went 17-12 with a 2.84 ERA despite leading the NL by dishing out 119 walks. Veale yielded just 5 home runs in 266 innings on the season, striking out 276 batters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
