If I’m not mistaken, the franchise moved to Milwaukee and became the Brewers, a rare eastward team relocation.

Selling the Pilots to a used car dealer named Bud Selig would reverberate the baseball world for decades with Bud (as commissioner, no longer as owner) forcing the Brewers into the National League and eventually extorting the Astros as their replacements in the American League with their hideous Designated Hitter rule.

May Bud rot in hell.

He was also largely responible for that debauchery called “Interleague Play”. The baseball equivalent of shacking up.
