There were eighteen teams at the time divided into two divisions. Baseball decided it would work for each team to play its seven division rivals twenty-two times each for a 154 game schedule. Since baseball is a more slow paced, non-contact sport, players could endure a season of that length.
The Regular Season
The Major League Baseball season runs from the start of April to the end of September, with each club playing 162 games. That means about one day off every ten days, so baseball is pretty much “game-a-day”.
Each team in Major League Baseball is scheduled to play a 162-game season. The season begins in April (or sometimes the end of March) and ends in October. The teams play other teams in their own division the most, and play very few (no more than six) games against teams in the other league.
A 162-game schedule for all teams was first set in 1962, and clubs have fallen short of a full slate only a handful of times. Player strikes in 1972 and 1981 shortened the regular seasons before another walkout in 1994 forced the end of that playing year, with no World Series champion being crowned.
Aftermath. The 1961 expansion was the first in a series of moves that resulted in MLB nearly doubling in size to 30 franchises. As part of MLB’s effort to prevent the formation of the Continental League, the NL added the New York Mets and Houston Colt .
The Seattle Mariners and the Chicago Cubs are tied for the most wins in a season, with 116 wins.

New York Yankees | 1961 | 109 |
Boston Red Sox | 2018 | 108 |
New York Mets | 1986 | 108 |

Major League Baseball added its 29th (Arizona Diamondbacks) and 30th (Tampa Bay Rays) teams before the 1998 season and has held firm at that number for more than two decades. In a few years, MLB expansion is expected to return.
There has never been an undefeated team in baseball since the merger of the American League and National League and the founding of Major League Baseball in 1903. Before the creation of the MLB, in 1869, the Cincinnati Red Stockings achieved baseball’s only perfect season, going 57-0.

The 2021 Atlanta Braves, who finished the regular season 88-73 (who only played 161 games because one of them got rained out and thankfully ended up being irrelevant) and had the lowest win total of any team in the 2021 Major League Baseball Postseason bracket, just won the World Series.
Seattle’s 116 wins in 2001 are tied with the 1906 Cubs for the most in a single season in baseball history. Chicago went 116-36 in 1906 and had a better winning percentage than the 2001 Mariners (. 763 vs. . 716), but 116 wins is the all-time record.
At its simplest, baseball is a series of one on one encounters between a pitcher and a hitter. Each game has around 60 to 70 of these contests. The long season provides a greater significance to the statistics produced by each player and each team and baseball is all about statistics!
The Cincinnati Red Stockings made their mark as the first openly professional baseball club in 1869. Members of the team would go on to form a club that still plays ball today, the Atlanta Braves.
