The 1962 Milwaukee Braves season was the tenth for the franchise in Milwaukee and 92nd overall.
The fifth-place Braves finished the season with an 86–76 (.531) record, 15+1⁄2 games behind the National League champion San Francisco Giants.[4] The home attendance at County Stadium was 766,921,[5] eighth in the ten-team National League. It was the Braves' first season under one million in Milwaukee.[5]
After this season in November, owner Lou Perini sold the franchise for $5.5 million to a Chicago group led by 34-year-old insurance executive William Bartholomay.[1][2][3] Perini retained a 10% interest in the club and sat on the board of directors for a number of years.
Ten years after the final television broadcasts in Boston, broadcasts of Braves games returned to a new channel, WTMJ-TV, giving Milwaukee television viewers a chance to watch the games at home.
