The 1960 season produced 1,243 games between 16 clubs, running from April 12, 1960 to October 13, 1960. Those games ended in 101 different final scores, 27 of which occurred exactly once all season. The most common result was 3–2, posted 84 times — 6.8% of the season's games. The season also produced four tie games, which sit on the board's diagonal.
Teams combined for 8.65 runs per game in 1960, almost exactly the 1901-onward average of 8.79. Shutouts accounted for 161 games (13.0% of the total), and 395 of the 1,239 decided games were settled by a single run (31.9%).
