A souvenir ticket from the Seattle Pilots’ brief and unforgettable lone season in the Pacific Northwest.
Why This Ticket Matters
On April 12, 1969, the Seattle Pilots defeated the Chicago White Sox 5–1 at Sick’s Stadium during the franchise’s first home series.
The expansion Pilots played only one season in Seattle before moving to Milwaukee and becoming the Brewers in 1970. That single-season existence has made surviving Pilots material especially evocative for collectors.
This ticket documents the opening days of a major-league franchise whose Seattle story lasted only months, preserving the name, ballpark and optimism of an unusually short chapter in baseball history.
