Baseball Crossword Puzzle : The 1960 Season (Printer Friendly Version)

The last pure season was a time when most of the game's players earned a salary about twenty-five times that of the average American, compared to 1999, where that ratio is nearly four-hundred times greater. The Pirates shocked the world, Ted Williams left the game, and two new teams entered the American League. This crossword puzzle pays tribute to those events and others which took place during The 1960 Season.

"There has always been a saying in baseball that you can't make a hitter, but I think you can improve a hitter. More than you can improve a fielder. More mistakes are made hitting than in any other part of the game." - Ted Williams
