The Seattle Pilots were an American professional baseball team based in Seattle, Washington, during 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. In their lone season in Seattle, the team finished in last place with a 64–98 record. On April 1, 1970, the franchise moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and became the Milwaukee Brewers. Following the relocation, Seattle and King County sued the American League, which led the league to grant Seattle a new expansion franchise, the Seattle Mariners.
