A write up on the Seattle Pilots from the Seattle Times:

"Ready For The Show" (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/centennial/november/show.html)

From SportsEcyclopedia.com:

Seattle Pilots writeup (http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/al/pastsea/pilots.html)

From Jim Bouton's website, the possibility of a Seattle Pilots "Old Timers" Game is discussed here: (Pilots Team Song "Go Go You Pilots" plays in background)

Pilots Old Timers Day? (http://www.bigleague.com/oldtimers_p.html)

The Seattle Pilots played .500 ball versus the Boston Red Sox and the (then) California Angels. They had a losing record against everyone else EXCEPT my beloved Senators. The Pilots were 7-5 (.583) versus Washington.

SportsEncylopedia says one of the reasons they traded Lou Pineilla
was his paycheck-$175,000. I`m sure that was his draft price and
not what they had to pay him.

Mike Marshall did win a Cy Young albeit not with the Pilots and Wayne Cromer although he bares a strange resemblance to Wayne Comer never played a game for the Pilots. I'm not very observant so lay it down on us brother. The truth I mean.

I remember when Greg Goossen was a "can't miss" minor leaguer in the NY Mets system.

JohnGelnarFan

Guess he missed. He's the guy that Casey Stengel Said," We have this 20 year old kid named Goosen and In 10 years he has a chance to be 30!" At least he had 1969. When the Senators got him in 1970,I was pretty excited but he only hit .241 with 0 Homers in his short time here. Everyone the Senators picked up off the scrap heap was like that. Check out Don Wert,Jerry Janeski and Frank Fernandez' stats as Senators.

And don't forget the contributions to the Senators via the Orioles........Sam Bowens, Fred Valentine, John Saverine, Mike Epstein (though Mike had a couple of decent seasons)...........and the other "can't miss" guy, Frank Bertania.

Very true. Coming to the Senators seemed to have an affect on players. Like the early Mets,they were usually past their prime or young players with no future. In fairness,we didn't have much to offer in return. We also got Wayne Comer in 1970 for Hank Allen and I believe that trade was made between games of a doubleheader at RFK. Comer was a solid contributor to the Pilots but did nothing for the Nats.

And of course, receiving Frank Howard, Ken McMullen, Pete Richert, Phil Ortega and Dick Nen for Claude Osteen and John Kennedy wasn't a bad deal for the Senators.

Claude was an excellent pitcher for the Dodgers, but probably wouldn't have gotten much support over the years in D.C. Howard and McMullen were both good players. Richert showed promise as a starter, but carved his niche as a reliever when he went to Baltimore - and he was traded for Epstein and Bertania (of course, Epstein was a throw-in, as I recall, he was refusing to report to the minors in the Oriole system). Ortega was a reliable starter for the Senators for a couple of seasons. Nen never lived up to minor league promise - his son Robb Nen had a pretty good career.

JohnGelnarFan

05-06-2006, 07:20 PM

You're right,that was a good trade for the Senators. Howard was the franchise. I think Pete Richert won 14 and 15 games and made the All-Star team one year. Osteen probably wouldn't have done much better in D.C. Ortega had his best years in Washington. Epstein had one great year and one average year. He hated playing here. I have a sports page from 1979 where they talked to the players that started the last opener in 1971. I just got an autographed Ken McMullen card today that I purchased on ebay. Dick Nen wasn't much of a player but I have his picture on my wall. :crazy

You saw it. Wayne "Cromer" is Wayne Comer. I have an autographed picture of him,as a Pilot,on my wall. I also have an 8" x 10" of him with the Senators. Good eye!
P.S.- Like your user name. A Greg Goosen fan is a true fan. Did you know that he's an actor now? I have him in "Get Shorty" with John Travolta. You have to look very close. There's a scene where movie director,Danny DeVito,is meeting Travolta at an outdoor cafe. When he's walking in,Goosen greets him from another table. He's Gregory Goosen in the credits.

Interesting stuff on the Goose. Yeah I'd heard that he'd done some acting and that he was in "Get Shorty" but I'd never guess where. So now I'll have to watch the movie tonight. Now wasn't he also involved in boxing as a trainer?
I never got to see John Gelnar pitch for the Pilots but did see him pitch with the Portland Beavers in the early 70's PCL. Wasn't he blind in one eye?

I think I did read that he was a boxing trainer,possibly for his brother. I think he also acted in "The Royal Tenenbaums" as a gypsy cab driver.
You're lucky to have been able to watch some of the Pilots play,even in Portland. That must have been fun. I've never been to a AAA game. Was this after his major league playing days? I tried to find something on Gelnar's vision but info on John is kind of limited!

Lucky indeed! Actually I lived for some time in Eugene, Oregon in the early to mid 70's and got to watch several AAA games of the Eugene Emeralds when they were the chief farm club of the Phillies. Got to see an up and coming second baseman named Mike Schmidt, a young catcher in Bob Boone, Oscar Gamble, Greg Luzinski, etc.. The PCL of that time was just stocked with future MLB talent up and down. But far and away my biggest thrills were when I got to see an ex-Pilot. Was in seventh heaven the Sunday afternoon I got to see Gelnar pitch. I suspect (being just a kid I don't quite remember) that Gelnar probably already seen his last days in the bigs go by as I don't remember hearing much about him after that. My biggest thrill was the time my dad took me out to see Eugene play the Hawaii Islanders who had just acquired Ray Oyler for about the last two weeks of his baseball life. He never played in the game and I never saw his face in the dugout but for five brief seconds he stood at the top of the dugout steps and I could see his name on the back of his jersey. I couldn't believe it you'd think I'd just seen Willie Mays. Good times though, indeed.

I would have felt the same way! Growing up as a Senators fan,I always Idolized "underdog" Types of players. It's too bad that he didn't get into the game but I know that rush that comes with seeing your favorites. One of my favorites on the Senators was an Infielder named Timmy Cullen. He was very "Oyler Like". In 1971,his only season as a starter,he hit .191 but I loved him. I saw him a few years ago at a reunion breakfast and acted like a kid,just being next to him. He was great about it and I have a picture of myself shaking hands with him on my wall(along with a few from his playing days). It was a real thrill and guys like he and Oyler will always have fans as long as wer'e around. Too bad Oyler died so young.

Definitely! It's the little things that makes baseball great. Guys like Oyler and Cullen long forgotten by most of the baseball masses can still put a smile on your face and make you feel like a kid again. My favorite Senator was another guy mostly forgotten "The Creeper" Ed Stroud. I don't know why but he and also Del Unser were favorites of mine.

JohnGelnarFan

05-15-2006, 12:38 PM

You're right Goosenoggle. That's exactly how our boyhood heroes still make us feel. I have favorites that were Pilots and I never saw them play. A few of them played for the other(or the original Brewers) I have cards,photos and books about them. I think growing up and watching the Nats gave me an appreciation of second division and expansion teams.
Ed Stroud was an exciting player. He was only a starter in 1970 but was pretty steady. He holds the expansion team record for stolen bases in a season(29) Del Unser is my all time favorite. My yahoo and ebay usernames are Delunser2003 and del-unser. We definitely like the same kind of players! :gt

Oh man every so often I'll sift through my boxes of childhood baseball cards and come across something like a 1969 Eddie Watt card or Don Wert or someone of that manner and I'm a 7 year old kid again. I've always wondered what my life would have been like if I hadn't discovered baseball. I swear I can still smell the residue of the bubble gum stick on some of the cards. Thank you Diego Segui, Greg Gross, etc.. (I could go on forever).

Washington Senators,62-64 Mets and lots of singles. I even have a Ron Santo mistake card that has Don Landrum's name. I have a seperate smaller album with just Pilots cards. I have autographed 8" x 10"s of Wayne Comer and Jim Bouton on my wall as well as a complimentary Avis team photo. I miss that gum smell. Thanks for the memory! :waving

I even have a Washington Senators Tattoo on my chest.

Now that's a fan! I'd said I was going to get a tattoo for both my 40th and
50th birthdays and chickened out both times.

I started collecting baseball cards in 1961-the first year of the American League expansion from 8 to 10 teams, back when cards were a nickel a pack-high finance to a 7 year old. My maternal grandfather had been a Washington Senators fan, mainly due to his admiration for Walter Johnson. He lost his interest when the original Senators left for Minnesota but I adopted the expansion Senators as my team because I was too young to realize the difference at the time.

I too have an album of mainly Senators and Pilots cards-the only Pilot card I'm missing is the Lou Pinella card from the 1969 set. Also the last three years (69-71) of Senators cards (complete) from those heady days when Ted Williams came to DC and taught the Senators how to hit. And those 1974 cards labeled Washington-National League-when we thought DC was going to get the struggling Padres franchise. Little did we realize that it would be 31 more years before major league baseball returned to DC. :(

05-16-2006, 02:12 PM

I just wrote you about the tattoo on the Senators page. You have some great cards. I grew up in Silver Spring but my earliest memories are probably around 1968.
I have a few of the Padre-Washington cards too. I have a 1969 Rookie Stars card that has Piniella and Marv Staehle(!) There was a 1969 team reunion in Chantilly,Va. in 1998 and the door prize was a huge wooden plaque with laminated player cards surrounding an aerial view of RFK. My friend won it and gave it to me because he knew how big a fan I was. I had come up from Texas for the event and carried it on the plane with me. The airlines kept it in a closet up front,which was very nice. It was way too large to hold in my seat. I saw the same plaque for sale at "The House Of Cards" in Wheaton after I moved back to the area. It was selling for $350.00. Probably my most prized piece of memorabilia!

Sick's Stadium was in an area called Garlic Gulch, due to the large Italian population there. it is a couple miles South East from the Downtown area. Many of these citizens were truck farmers who had gardens in the area. There is a famous garden that used to sit up on the hill behind the outfield, I think it was there when the Rainiers played there. As far as population density, by 1969, I believe it was fairly dense, with mostly residential and along Rainier Avenue South, Industrial.

Before Sicks was built, there was a ballpark at the site for many years. The name escapes me.

www.historylink.org has some great stuff on Seattle History, with stories of Seattle neighborhoods, including Rainier Valley, Columbia City and The Mt. Baker district.

It was a labor of love for me and I'd love your feedback. I wish the publisher (McFarland) had allowed color photos but I am not in a position to "Call the shots". There are the familiar Pilot photos along with never seen before photos including action shots. I think you will find the interviews at the end of the book both informative and at times funny.

Hey, y'all. New here.

Came across some cool photos from Spring Training 1969. Whoever posted them seems to have forgotten to caption them correctly as it seems all but one are labeled John Morris. It looks to me as though only two are actually John Morris (left-handed with sideburns). 5 Jack Akers (right-handed) and looks like 4 Steve Barbers (left-handed, no sideburns). Sample photo (Aker) attached. So few Pilots photos out there, every one counts.

light blue numerals really stand out. And it looks like the belt matches the numerals. See this picture here: http://www.faketeams.com/photos/fantasy-baseball-links-3-2-12/3078169

Thanks for the photos, E!
