The 1961 Milwaukee Braves season was the ninth in Milwaukee and the 91st overall season of the franchise.

The fourth-place Braves finished the season with a {{nowrap|{{winning percentage|83|71|record=y}}}} record, ten games behind the National League champion {{nowrap|Cincinnati Reds.[1][2]}} The home attendance at County Stadium {{nowrap|was 1,101,411,[2]}} fifth in the eight-team National League.[3] It was the Braves' lowest attendance to date in Milwaukee, and was the last season over one million.

Offseason

  • October 14, 1960: Red Schoendienst was released by the Braves.[4]
  • October 14, 1960: Stan Lopata was released by the Braves.[5]
  • December 3, 1960: Billy Martin was purchased by the Braves from the Cincinnati Reds.[6]
  • December 14, 1960: Joe Azcue was purchased by the Braves from the Cincinnati Reds.[7]
  • Prior to 1961 season (exact date unknown)
    • Jim Campbell was traded by the Braves to the Houston Colt .45s for Morrie Martin.[8]
    • Clay Carroll was signed by the Braves as an amateur free agent.[9]

Regular season

On April 28, Warren Spahn threw a no-hitter against the San Francisco Giants.

On June 8, against the Cincinnati Reds, four consecutive Braves batters hit home runs off pitchers Jim Maloney (two) and Marshall Bridges (two more) in the seventh inning. The batters who accomplished this feat were Eddie Mathews, Hank Aaron, Joe Adcock, and Frank Thomas. Oddly, both Adcock and Thomas were former players for the Reds.

  • June 1, 1961: Billy Martin was traded by the Braves to the Minnesota Twins for Billy Consolo.[6]

Managerial turnover

Chuck Dressen, 66, was fired on September 2, less than a month shy of finishing his second year as the Braves' {{nowrap|manager.[12][13]}} The club was in third place at {{nowrap|{{winning percentage|71|58|record=y}},}} seven games behind the league-leading Cincinnati Reds, when the change was announced after a Saturday home win over {{nowrap|the Dodgers.[14][15]

}} The Braves were {{nowrap|{{winning percentage|159|124|record=y}}}} under Dressen's command.

His successor was executive vice president Birdie Tebbetts, 48, a former Cincinnati manager, who came down from the Milwaukee front office to take the reins; the Braves went {{nowrap|{{winning percentage|12|13|record=y}}}} under him to finish the season. Tebbetts was signed through the 1963 season but he would spend only 1962 as the Braves' skipper before leaving to become manager of the Cleveland Indians in 1963. Tebbetts retained two of Dressen's coaches, Andy Pafko and Whit Wyatt, while George Myatt departed for the American League Detroit Tigers.[16]
