In 1970 the Seattle Pilots reported for their 2nd ever spring training and Topps snapped some of these photos of the players. Before the 1970 season got started, however, the Pilots shaky ownership would fold and the team would be moved to Milwaukee to become the 1970 Milwaukee Brewers. Notice that the 1970 Pilots had fancier uniforms and hats with Pilots wings on them.
As a kid who had just started keeping up with baseball, I remember asking who these Pilots were and why did so many of their players end up with the Milwaukee Brewers.
