The art on this 1969 Vintage Seattle Pilots Mug has been custom produced by Vintage Brand. The Seattle Pilots were an American professional baseball team based in the 1969 Major League Baseball season. During their single-season existence, the Pilots played their home games at Sick's Stadium and were a member of the West Division of Major League Baseball's American League. On April 1, 1970, the franchise moved to Milwaukee and became the Milwaukee Brewers. The "Pilots" name originated from the city's association with the aviation industry. Seattle had long been a hotbed for minor league baseball and was home to the Seattle Rainiers, a successful team in the Pacific Coast League (PCL). The Cleveland Indians briefly considered a move to Seattle in 1964 but opted to stay in Ohio. In 1967, the Kansas City Athletics discussed a move to Seattle, but ended up moving the Athletics to Oakland. There was no real competition from other professional teams at the time. While Seattle had landed the NBA SuperSonics in 1967, the NBA was not as popular as baseball was at the time. The NFL would come to the city in 1976 with the addition of the expansion Seahawks.
