Yea, they moved to Milwaukee. Get this, one their pitchers wrote a great book about the Pilots. Go out and get it, you’ll laugh your ass off.

Ha! Good one gusty! I have read ‘that book’ at the start of every MLB season opener as some sort of screwy personal tradition since I bought the first hardback printing, (in June or July 1970 iirc. His follow up books to it are well done also. The first person account of his daughters tragic death and his invite, finally, back to the Bomber’s Old Timers Day was flat out wonderful writing. The second best MLB book ever written was ‘The Glory of Their Times’ by Larry Ritter imho.
