Bio/Historical NoteCap worn by an unknown member of the Seattle Pilots in 1969, the only year the club played in the Northwest. Prior to the 1970 season, the financially strapped club was sold to Bud Selig and moved to Milwaukee less than a week before the regular season began. While Pilots jerseys were simply altered to become Milwaukee Brewers jerseys, the old Pilots caps were unusable.
