<p>The <b>Seattle Pilots</b> were an American professional <a href="Baseball" title="Baseball">baseball</a> team based in <a href="Seattle%2C_Washington" class="mw-redirect" title="Seattle, Washington">Seattle, Washington</a>, during the <a href="1969_Major_League_Baseball_season" title="1969 Major League Baseball season">1969 Major League Baseball season</a>. During their single-season existence, the Pilots played their home games at <a href="Sick's_Stadium" title="Sick's Stadium">Sick's Stadium</a> and were a member of the <a href="American_League_West" title="American League West">West Division</a> of <a href="Major_League_Baseball" title="Major League Baseball">Major League Baseball</a>'s <a href="American_League" title="American League">American League</a>. In their lone season in Seattle, the team finished in last place with a 64–98 record. On April 1, 1970, the franchise moved to <a href="Milwaukee%2C_Wisconsin" class="mw-redirect" title="Milwaukee, Wisconsin">Milwaukee, Wisconsin</a> and became the <a href="Milwaukee_Brewers" title="Milwaukee Brewers">Milwaukee Brewers</a>. After the move, Seattle and King County sued the American League, which led the league to grant Seattle a new expansion franchise, the <a href="Seattle_Mariners" title="Seattle Mariners">Seattle Mariners</a>.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Formation">Formation</h2></div>

<p>The franchise was owned by Pacific Northwest Sports, Inc. (PNSI), led by <a href="Dewey_Soriano" title="Dewey Soriano">Dewey Soriano</a>, a former Rainiers <a href="Pitcher" title="Pitcher">pitcher</a> and <a href="General_Manager_(baseball)" class="mw-redirect" title="General Manager (baseball)">general manager</a> and former president of the Pacific Coast League.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The team's nickname of "Pilots" came from Soriano's part-time job as a <a href="Maritime_pilot" title="Maritime pilot">harbor pilot</a> and the city's association with the <a href="Aerospace_manufacturer" title="Aerospace manufacturer">aviation</a> industry.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Mullins_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mullins-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The team colors were <a href="Royal_blue" title="Royal blue">royal blue</a> and <a href="Golden_yellow" class="mw-redirect" title="Golden yellow">gold</a> (with accessory red in the logo: <a href="Ship's_wheel" title="Ship's wheel">helm</a> and baseball seams).

</p><p>Seattle had long been a hotbed for <a href="Minor_league_baseball" class="mw-redirect" title="Minor league baseball">minor league baseball</a> and was home to the <a href="Seattle_Rainiers" title="Seattle Rainiers">Seattle Rainiers</a>, one of the pillars of the <a href="Pacific_Coast_League" title="Pacific Coast League">Pacific Coast League</a> (PCL). At the time, Seattle was the third-biggest metropolitan area on the <a href="West_Coast_of_the_United_States" title="West Coast of the United States">West Coast</a>. The then-<a href="Cleveland_Indians" class="mw-redirect" title="Cleveland Indians">Cleveland Indians</a> (now Guardians) briefly considered a move to Seattle in 1964 but opted to stay in the city. In 1967, <a href="Charlie_Finley" title="Charlie Finley">Charles Finley</a> looked to move his <a href="Kansas_City_Athletics" title="Kansas City Athletics">Kansas City Athletics</a> to Seattle, but ended up moving the <a href="Oakland_Athletics" title="Oakland Athletics">Athletics</a> to <a href="Oakland%2C_California" title="Oakland, California">Oakland, California</a> instead. There was no real competition from other professional teams at the time in the city. While Seattle had landed the <a href="National_Basketball_Association" title="National Basketball Association">National Basketball Association</a> (NBA)'s <a href="Seattle_SuperSonics" title="Seattle SuperSonics">SuperSonics</a> (now the <a href="Oklahoma_City_Thunder" title="Oklahoma City Thunder">Oklahoma City Thunder</a>) in 1967, the NBA was not as popular as baseball was at the time.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMullins201351_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMullins201351-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="National_Football_League" title="National Football League">NFL</a> would come to the city in 1976 with the addition of the expansion <a href="Seattle_Seahawks" title="Seattle Seahawks">Seahawks</a>, followed by the <a href="National_Hockey_League" title="National Hockey League">NHL</a> in 2021 with the addition of the expansion <a href="Seattle_Kraken" title="Seattle Kraken">Kraken</a>.

</p><p>In an ominous sign of things to come, Soriano found himself short of cash after making little effort to find locally-based partners. He had to ask <a href="William_R._Daley" title="William R. Daley">William R. Daley</a>, who owned the Indians during the time they flirted with moving to Seattle, to underwrite much of the purchase price. In return, Soriano sold Daley 47% of the stock. Daley became the team's largest shareholder and chairman of the board, while Soriano remained team president.<sup id="cite_ref-SABR_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SABR-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>A couple of factors were beyond the Pilots' control. They were originally not set to start play until <a href="1971_in_baseball" title="1971 in baseball">1971</a> along with the <a href="Kansas_City_Royals" title="Kansas City Royals">Kansas City Royals</a>. However, the date was moved up to <a href="1969_in_baseball" title="1969 in baseball">1969</a> under pressure from <a href="United_States_Senate" title="United States Senate">Senator</a> <a href="Stuart_Symington" title="Stuart Symington">Stuart Symington</a> of <a href="Missouri" title="Missouri">Missouri</a>. Professional baseball had been played in Kansas City in one form or another from <a href="1883_in_baseball" title="1883 in baseball">1883</a> until the A's left for <a href="Oakland%2C_California" title="Oakland, California">Oakland</a> after the <a href="1967_in_baseball" title="1967 in baseball">1967</a> season, and Symington would not accept the prospect of Kansas City having to wait three years for baseball to return there.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The American League would not allow only one new team to enter the league, as the resulting odd number of teams would unbalance the schedule. That meant that Kansas City and Seattle had to be admitted together.

</p><p>Despite Soriano having been president of the PCL, he had to pay the PCL $1 million to compensate for the loss of one of its longest-standing and most successful franchises. After <a href="King_County%2C_Washington" title="King County, Washington">King County</a> voters approved a bond for a <a href="Stadium#Types" title="Stadium">domed stadium</a> (what would become the <a href="Kingdome" title="Kingdome">Kingdome</a>) in February 1968 with 62 percent in favor,<sup id="cite_ref-saowtvy_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-saowtvy-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-adfsea_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-adfsea-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ssartpk_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ssartpk-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-sfpsgr_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sfpsgr-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the Seattle Pilots were officially born.<sup id="cite_ref-sptrtr_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sptrtr-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="California_Angels" class="mw-redirect" title="California Angels">California Angels</a> executive <a href="Marvin_Milkes" title="Marvin Milkes">Marvin Milkes</a> was hired as general manager,<sup id="cite_ref-sptrtr_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sptrtr-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and <a href="Joe_Schultz" class="mw-redirect" title="Joe Schultz">Joe Schultz</a>, a coach with the <a href="National_League_(baseball)" title="National League (baseball)">National League</a> champion <a href="St._Louis_Cardinals" title="St. Louis Cardinals">St. Louis Cardinals</a>, became <a href="Manager_(baseball)" title="Manager (baseball)">manager</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-mjthp20_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mjthp20-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>With expansion to twelve teams in each league came a realignment into two divisions. Unlike the <a href="National_League_(baseball)" title="National League (baseball)">National League</a>, the AL owners voted to align strictly based on geography. On paper, the newly-formed <a href="American_League_West" title="American League West">American League West</a> was by far the weaker division, as it consisted of the two expansion teams and the four clubs that had finished sixth through ninth place in the 1968 campaign. The <a href="Oakland_Athletics" title="Oakland Athletics">Oakland Athletics</a> were the only AL West team that had a winning record in 1968, finishing 82–80.

</p><p>Due to the favorable alignment, Schultz and Milkes both optimistically predicted that the Pilots could finish third in the new division.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMullins2013117–118_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMullins2013117–118-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, the Pilots experienced the typical struggles of a first-year expansion team. They won their first game, and then their home opener three days later, but only won five more times in the first month. Nevertheless, the Pilots stayed within striking distance of .500 for much of the spring, and were only six games out of the AL West lead as late as June 28. But a disastrous 9–20 July ended even a faint hope of any kind of contention, though they were still in third place as late as August. However, a 6–22 August sent them into the AL West basement for good. The team finished the <a href="1969_Seattle_Pilots_season" title="1969 Seattle Pilots season">season</a> with a record of 64–98, 33 games behind division winner <a href="1969_Minnesota_Twins_season" title="1969 Minnesota Twins season">Minnesota</a> and five games behind their expansion brethren, the <a href="1969_Kansas_City_Royals_season" title="1969 Kansas City Royals season">Royals</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-fsal1969_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-fsal1969-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Only <a href="1969_Cleveland_Indians_season" title="1969 Cleveland Indians season">Cleveland</a> had a worse record in the American League. On the plus side, they did finish 12 games ahead of the two National League expansion teams, <a href="1969_Montreal_Expos_season" title="1969 Montreal Expos season">Montreal</a> and <a href="1969_San_Diego_Padres_season" title="1969 San Diego Padres season">San Diego</a>, both of whom lost 110 games.

</p><p>However, the team's poor play was the least of its troubles. The most obvious problem was Sick's Stadium. The longtime home of the Rainiers, it had once been considered one of the best ballparks in minor league baseball.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, in 1964, the Rainiers sold the stadium to the city, which was more interested in building a freeway on the stadium site than maintaining it. Indeed, both the Indians and A's had balked at moving to Seattle because of Sick's rapid deterioration.<sup id="cite_ref-SABR_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SABR-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While a condition of awarding the Pilots to Seattle was that Sicks' had to be expanded to 30,000 seats, this had initially been agreed on the understanding that the team would commence play in 1971. Work did not really begin in earnest until January 1969, and only 18,000–19,500 seats (depending on the source) were ready by <a href="Opening_Day" title="Opening Day">Opening Day</a> because of numerous delays.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMullins2013141_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMullins2013141-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-SABR_6-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SABR-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The scoreboard was not even ready until the night before the season opener. By June there were finally 25,000 seats in place. Water pressure was almost nonexistent after the seventh inning, especially with crowds above 8,000.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMullins2013145_20-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMullins2013145-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The Pilots had a total attendance of 677,944 people for the season, 20th out of 24 teams in Major League Baseball, and their average attendance per game, 8,268, was also 20th.<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Seattle finished above fellow cellar dweller teams like the <a href="Cleveland_Indians" class="mw-redirect" title="Cleveland Indians">Cleveland Indians</a>, <a href="Chicago_White_Sox" title="Chicago White Sox">Chicago White Sox</a>, <a href="Philadelphia_Phillies" title="Philadelphia Phillies">Philadelphia Phillies</a>, and the expansion <a href="San_Diego_Padres" title="San Diego Padres">San Diego Padres</a>. The other two expansion teams outdrew the Pilots, with the <a href="Kansas_City_Royals" title="Kansas City Royals">Kansas City Royals</a> having 902,414 attend their games while the <a href="Montreal_Expos" title="Montreal Expos">Montreal Expos</a> finished 10th in attendance with 1,212,608.

</p><p>Additionally, the Pilots were severely underfinanced. The Sorianos were forced to bring Daley into their group after making almost no effort to court Seattle-based partners. However, the American League did not even consider any other prospective owners. When league president <a href="Joe_Cronin" title="Joe Cronin">Joe Cronin</a> scouted out the city in 1967, his only interview was with Soriano. Despite their straitened financial condition, the Sorianos balked at corporate support, a critical factor even in those days for sports franchises.<sup id="cite_ref-SABR_6-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SABR-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<p>By the end of the season, the Pilots were gasping. However, Daley refused to put up more financing. It was obvious that they would not survive long enough to move into their new park without new ownership.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMullins2013237_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMullins2013237-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was also obvious that a new stadium would have to built earlier than expected, as Sicks' Stadium was inadequate even for temporary use.

<p>After a winter and spring full of court action, the owners loaned Soriano and Daley $650,000 to send the team to <a href="Spring_training" title="Spring training">spring training</a> and settle the Pilots' most immediate debts. Under new manager <a href="Dave_Bristol" title="Dave Bristol">Dave Bristol</a>, the Pilots arrived for spring training in <a href="Tempe%2C_Arizona" title="Tempe, Arizona">Tempe, Arizona</a> unsure of where they would play.
