Lot 607. 1969 Pilots Yearbook. You’ve heard of one-hit wonders, right? The Seattle Pilots were a one-year wonder. The Pilots joined the American League in 1969, but by the next year’s 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. Pilot memorabilia has become very collectible and aggressively sought after. One reason for this posthumous fame is that most of their single season was chronicled in pitcher Jim Bouton’s 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 also made the record books because they were the only Major League Baseball team in memory to move after just a single season and they were the first Major League Baseball team to declare bankruptcy. One other team in the twentieth century moved after only one year — ironically, the original Milwaukee Brewers became the St. Louis Browns after the 1901 season. Ex cover with nm-m inside pages.
Winning Bid $50.
