WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SEATTLE PILOTS? // RELOCATED: A SEATTLE PILOTS DOCUMENTARY

Saw them play the Angels

I still have numerous baseball cards of Pilot players such as Don Minchner and Tony Harper and was upset when they moved to Milwaukee. This is a good video of what happened to the team.

Uh...they became the Milwaukee Brewers

That first stadium was literally...Sick.

Both the Brewers & Pilots have had amazing looking uniforms.

In the 1968 Expansion Draft, The Pilots took a pretty good player in the name of Lou Piniella but traded him to KC just before opening day in 1969. He came back to Seattle as manager for ten seasons.

Those unis were tight.

I'd like to see you do a video on the Jersey Knights of the WHA. They played only part of the 1973-74 season. They played in Cherry Hill at the Cherry Hill Arena which probably made Sick Stadium look like a palace.

toilets caused their demise

Apparently they didn't 'take off'.😅

some mother fucker bought and moved em - we know alot about that kind of shit up here

I'm wondering how much is a Seattle pilot's home /road uniform mint condition worth & memorabilia From that 1 season in Seattle ? As a history buff & all Wisconsin sports fan this was a good listen

Not a mention of Jim Bouton and his groundbreaking book 'Ball Four'.

If not for Bud Selig, Milwaukee would never get another baseball team after the Braves moved to Atlanta.

Could you do a video about the down fall of the Packers after the Lombardi years? They were awful for a number of years before the early 90s.

can you do a video about what hapened to the cleveland rams the relocated to la when they literally won the nfl championship

Atlanta flames vid would be good

Somebody I'm related to played for the white Sox, cardinals, and pilots, I also got his 1st homerun ball which was passed down to me, thought that was really cool

As a 10 year old boy in 1970, Bud Selig broke my heart. I had gone to 7 Pilots games in 1969 and really had taken to Baseball. A better ownership group should have been in place.

I was at the first White Sox game against the Twins. They roped off the warning track to handle the demand for standing room. I was on the field. Bud Selig not only brought MLB back to Milwaukee, he was instrumental in the city building Miller Park, now American Family Field. The dome has been a huge success, as the Brewers are near the top in attendance, even though Milwaukee is the smallest TV market.

Can you do a video on the Braves moving into Milwaukee. Winning a World Series and then moving to Atlanta a few years later.

What the pilots are the brewers?

Come on man !! 🧐
What real Baseball fan doesn't know they played only one year in Seattle then became the Milw. Brewers in 1970' !! 🥎

If money 💰 is the biggest reason why any pro sport team leaves? What do you think 🤔 the second reason is?

No mention of book “Ball Four”?? Surprising. A Home Depot stands at stadium old site with Home Plate right outside the Enter door

No to relocation to Montreal
Not without a new stadium plan approved
I think other cities deserve an opportunity to have MLB including Salt Lake City, El Paso, Vegas, SanAntonio, Albuquerque, Nashville, Vancouver BC, Calgary AB or Mexico DF, perhaps even San Juan PR

The Seattle Pilots couldn't wait for the Kingdome to be built haha

Fun Fact: the only player who played for both the Pilots and Mariners was Diego Segui ( pitcher)

its crazy how seilg went from a car salesman who bought the brewers to major league baseball commissioner

Seattle just was not ready for the pilots due to stadium issues they were hastily moved in putting owners on the spot it just would have been better to wait until stadium issues were resolved

My Mother was from Brooklyn. She never accepted the Los Angeles Dodgers. To her they were "Dem Bums" from Brooklyn. The Giants left NY for San Francisco, but the were replaced with the Mets. Brooklyn didn't get another team, and never will.

A 17-and-a-half minute video? They became the Milwaukee Brewers.

There are some people here in Wisconsin that legit thought the fail mary and the lost to the seahawks in the NFC championship game a few years later was "karma for us taking the pilots"

I was born in 67, in Milwaukee, so I’ve been a Brewer fan all my life. I didn’t know that the pilots had only been a team for one year prior to going to Milwaukee. Thanks for the info. Now if my Brewers could finally win a World Series…

What happened to the Soriano brothers?

I lived in Alaska and the Pilots were the baseball we got in Alaska. The Pilots' games were on the radio on the weekends. I remember being told during spring training the Pilots would remain in Seattle one more year. I was relieved and then out of the blue, it was announced they were moving to Milwaukee. this was heartbreaking.

I always thought the Grunge would be a great name for a team in Seattle

Courtney Love killed them.

I remember the Pilots and can't believe how Seattle lost that team after just one season. That's so screwed up 😮

You should have told a bit more about how the Mariners were named, and how they never found the person that named them to award them their money

@All Sports History It’s Crazy That The Pilots Left Seattle After One Season Before The Mariners Came Along Later On BTW U Should Do Another League Video of The WFL in From 1974 to 1975 When The League Folded!

It's a miracle the Pilots didn't fold

Hey Seattle residents & fans: What was it like when the Brewers came back to Seattle to play the Mariners during that 1st season in1977?

They became the Milwaukee Brewers in 1970

The Kingdom was a huge waste of money since it only stood for about 20 years.

The Pilots’ departure gave us one of the best logos in professional sports.

Hey Sports Historians! What did you think of the Pilots moving to Milwaukee from Seattle? And what did you think of Bud Selig almost buying the White Sox and moving them instead?
