1982 Major League Baseball season

The 1982 Major League Baseball season concluded with the St. Louis Cardinals winning their ninth World Series championship, defeating the Milwaukee Brewers in the World Series after seven games, after making up for their playoff miss of the year before.

This was the first season since 1959 in which there wasn't a no-hitter pitched.

On October 3, the San Francisco Giants eliminated the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers from playoff contention in favor of the Atlanta Braves. This was one of the few times a defending champion was eliminated on the final day of the regular season.
