Major league baseball adopts two division system for 1969
The National and American leagues approve a two six team division split with a best of five playoff for the World Series. The plan adds a 156 game schedule in the AL and 156 in the NL, with interdivision play 12 times and intra- division play 18 times. White Sox owner Arthur Allyn protests the division setup and 162 game framework. Major League Players Association calls for a pre expansion style 154 game season as baseline.

The club, 43-37 in third, cited pitching strength but stated hitting woes, with Bauer to be paid $50,000 through 1968.
