The players on this card
The 1960 Topps team card caught the original Senators in their 60th and final season in Washington. Under manager Cookie Lavagetto they went 73-81, fifth in the American League, 24 games behind the pennant-winning Yankees. Griffith Stadium drew 743,404 fans, up nearly 25 percent from 1959 but still the league's lowest total. Harmon Killebrew, shifted from third base to first, slugged 30 home runs — 21 of them after August 1 — despite a leg injury. Camilo Pascual anchored the rotation, opening the season by striking out 15 Red Sox on Opening Day, a major-league record. Catcher Earl Battey, acquired from the White Sox that April in the trade that sent Roy Sievers to Chicago, took over behind the plate. That fall, owner Calvin Griffith's long push to relocate finally won league approval: the franchise moved to Minnesota as the Twins for 1961, with Washington awarded an expansion team to replace it.
