No Expansion Plans Now For Majors
Baseball commissioner Ford Frick faced a clear signal that both the National and American leagues show no immediate interest in expansion. The American League opposed growing beyond eight clubs, while the National League did not hold a formal meeting, focusing instead on 1959 schedules. Only Milwaukee and Chicago favored expansion, with most others opposed or indifferent. National League President Warren Giles cited the need for unanimous league consent and a three quarters vote to admit new cities, making rapid expansion unlikely.
