In 1964, minor league players were able to compete in the Olympics in baseball for the first time. Team Mexico emerged victorious, defeating Puerto Rico in the finals.

Meanwhile, the Bears' Bob Allison won the Home Run Derby and the ABC won the All-Star game. Meanwhile at the break, the Miami Gators and Atlanta Colonels held slim leads in their divisions, while the Cincinnati Silverbacks and San Francisco Tigers had comfortable leads in theirs. By the trade deadline, the Gators had a slim half-game lead over the Knights, and swung a big trade with Dallas to bring in young third baseman Dick Allen to fill a weak spot in their lineup. The move paid off, as they built their lead back up and retained the top spot in the division through August. They fended off the Knights to win the division in the end, their first playoff appearance since 1945 as the Virginia Beach Captains. The Silverbacks won the ABC West again. The Tigers won the NBC West, and the defending champion Yellow Jackets won a close NBC East race.

The Gators defeated the Silverbacks in four games, reaching the World Series for the first time since 1904. On the NBC side, the San Francisco Tigers fought and clawed their way to a 5-game victory to knock off the defending champs. In the World Series, the Gators defeated the Tigers in 5 games.
