Review # 1 was written on 2014-01-01 00:00:00 Lucio Marchioro Probably the most obscure team in the history of Major League Baseball, the 1969 Seattle Pilots are mainly known for two things: 1) being the focal point of Jim Bouton's controversial tell-all "Ball Four," and 2) only playing one year before a bankruptcy forced them to relocate to Milwaukee, where they became the Brewers. The Pilots weren't completely devoid of talent--their leadoff hitter led the Majors with 73 stolen bases, and their first baseman clubbed 25 homers--but pitching woes and injuries eventually mired them into last place. What really did them in, however, was profound mismanagement that kept the roster in in continuous transition and also wrecked the team's finances. Kenneth Hogan clearly did his research, judging from the bibliography, statistical information, and player interviews he incorporates into the book. On the downside, he could have used a proofreader; a number of grammatical errors can be found, particularly in punctuation. If you can overlook this, however, then this book is an informative look into a team whose legacy is a matter of baseball trivia.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-05-09 00:00:00 William R Snoddy Jr An Interesting Book A good read if you are a baseball fan. I was too young (age 7) to remember this team. Always wondered why this team was only in existence for 1 season.
