The Seattle Pilots joined the American League in 1969 but by the next opening day they had been reborn as the Milwaukee Brewers. Interest in the Pilots is much greater now than it was when the team existed. One reason for this posthumous fame is that most of their single season was chronicled in pitcher Jim classic book Ball Four. Although much maligned by those inside the game the book did more to endear the Pilots to the public than anything or anyone else did. The Pilots were also an oddity because they were the only Major League Baseball team in memory to move after just a single season(it happened only one other time in the twentieth century--ironically to the original Milwaukee Brewers who became the St. Louis Browns after the 1901 season).
This OAL(Cronin) baseball is signed by 26 members of the first and only 1969 Seattle Pilots American League expansion team. Players are: Barber Bouton Brabender Comer Crosetti Davis Donaldson Gil Harper Hegan Kennedy Locker Maglie Marshall Mincher O'Brien Oyler Pagliaroni Ranew Rollins Schultz(SS) Segui Simpson Talbot 1 unidentified due to placement on ball. Whitish ball with 7-8/10 blue ink signatures.
Includes a full LOA from PSA/DNA.
