The 1960 Chicago White Sox season was the team's 60th season in the major leagues, and its 61st season overall. They finished with a record of 87–67, good enough for third place in the American League, 10 games behind the first-place New York Yankees.

Offseason

December 9, 1959: Johnny Callison was traded by the White Sox to the Philadelphia Phillies for Gene Freese.^[2]
January 9, 1960: Chico Carrasquel was signed as a free agent by the White Sox.^[3]

Regular season

During the season, the White Sox became the first major sports team to put player names on the backs of uniforms. The White Sox were also the first to misspell a players name. During a road trip to New York, Ted Kluszewski became the first player to appear in a game with his name misspelled. There was a backwards "z" and an "x" instead of the second "k" in his name.^[4]
Nellie Fox set an American League record for most consecutive games started at second base. The streak started on August 7, 1955, and ended on September 3, 1960.^[5]
During the American League meetings of 1960, White Sox owner Bill Veeck announced that he was interested in selling his shares in the White Sox with the intention of starting an expansion franchise in Southern California with former player Hank Greenberg. Charlie Finley had offered to buy Veeck's shares in the White Sox for $4.2 million but withdrew the offer.^[6]
