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 extremely limited collectible is a Seattle Pilots Mitchell & Ness Cooperstown Collection size 44 replica home jersey signed by 19 members of the 1969 team in 7-8/10 blue felt tip pen on the front. Players are: Jack Aker Gary Bell Jim Bouton Ron Clark Wayne Comer Tommy Davis Jim Gosger Tommy Harper Mike Hegan John Kennedy Bob Locker Skip Lockwood Jerry McNertney John O'Donoghue Rich Rollins Diego Segui and Fred Stanley. A special certificate accompanies the jersey including photos of each of the aforementioned former Pilots players signing.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
