Be careful with that. Despite both leagues playing 154 games in 1960, the NL schedule started six days earlier than the AL schedule. Here are the starting and ending dates and length of season:
1960 AL = Apr. 18 through Oct. 2 — 154 games over 168 days
1960 NL = Apr. 12 through Oct. 2 — 154 games over 174 days
1961 NL = Apr. 11 through Oct. 1 — 154 games over 174 days
