The 24th Major League Baseball All-Star Game was played on July 9, hosted by the St. Louis Cardinals in St. Louis, Missouri, with the American League winning, 6–5.

The National League's Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants played their final seasons as New York City-based franchises before their moves to California for the 1958 season, leaving New York City without a National League team until the founding of the expansion New York Mets in 1962.

On April 22, the Philadelphia Phillies became the 14th team in professional baseball to break the color line when they fielded John Kennedy. [1]

Schedule

The 1957 schedule consisted of 154 games for all teams in the American League and National League, each of which had eight teams. Each team was scheduled to play 22 games against the other seven teams of their respective league. This continued the format put in place since the 1904 season (except for 1919) and would be used until 1961 in the American League and 1962 in the National League.

American League Opening Day took place on April 15, featuring the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Senators, while National League Opening Day took place the following day, featuring all eight NL teams. This was the first season since 1953 that both leagues opened on different days. The final day of the regular season was on September 29, which saw all sixteen teams play, continuing the trend from 1955. The World Series took place between October 2 and October 10.
