1961 Kansas City Athletics Schedule

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present a comprehensive team schedule for the 1961 Kansas City Athletics with dates for every game played, opponents faced, a final score, and a cumulative record for the 1961 season.
"Maybe I missed my routine and my game so much that I was trying to rationalize reasons for getting it back. I wanted those 162 games. I wanted all the suspense of the playoff and home run races. And I honestly didn't believe baseball would bend far enough to allow the possibility of games in November. I was wrong. And baseball was right." - Paul White in USA Today Baseball Weekly (September 14, 2001)
