The Seattle Pilots' strange one-year path to Milwaukee

Original: 3 HOFers, a Game 163 and a future Commissioner: The wild story of the Brewers' 1st season -- in Seattle https://www. mlb

A feature from MLB traces the chaotic 1969 season of the Seattle Pilots, who lasted just one year in Seattle before bankruptcy forced their move to Milwaukee, where they became the Brewers. The story highlights Hall of Fame players from that roster, a one-game playoff, and Bud Selig's role in bringing the team to Milwaukee. Selig later became baseball's commissioner.

Why now: Readers are drawn to anniversary retrospectives and unusual franchise-history stories, especially ones linking future Hall of Famers and a future commissioner.
