I'll try to get to the 156-gamer with interleague play in the next couple of days.

That is so nice of you. Not sure what I could possibly do to in exchange, but please know how appreciative I am. I will enjoy this schedule thoroughly!

Actually, the schedule went from 154 to 162 in 1961 in the AL when the Angels and new Senators (now the Rangers, the old Senators moved to Minnesota as the Twins that season) were born. At that point, the AL had 10 teams, so they played 9 opponents 18 times for 162. The NL did the same the next year when the Astros and Mets came aboard. It's been 162 in both leagues since.

Wow, so I knew the schedule went from 154 to 162 in '61

It's why Roger Maris had that asterisk next to his home run record for so long. What I didn't realize is that the NL didn't do it until 1962! Now that I think about it, it makes sense.
