"For the Washington Senators, the worst time of the year is the baseball season." Roger Kahn
"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." Rogers Hornsby.
Here's a great one of Steve Hovley taken in April of 1970....he's on the Brewers but you can see the "P" has been scratched off of his helmet.

Just testing.
The 1969 Seattle Pilots; Baseball's One-Year Team has arrived. I received my 10 author's copies yesterday. I hope all of the Pilots' fans out there will enjoy it. 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. Thanks guys (& gals).

Thanks for the timely reminder, Kenny! I just went to Borders.com and saw they have it listed-in fact, when I searched on "Seattle Pilots" your tome was the first one listed!
While I'll remain loyal to my beloved Washington Senators I'll definitely have to pick this one up-although I STILL haven't forgotten that the Pilots had their ONLY winning record against the Senators in 1969!![]()

The history of the Seattle Pilots! A great addition to any Pilots fan library.

That Pilots "spinner charm" is an especially attractive piece. Out of my budget unfortunately.
I saw this in an auction a few years back. It has a credit-card look to it. I would assume that it's pretty rare. Enjoy! ~B

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/fant...3-2-12/3078169
Thanks for the photos, E!
You've identified these photos correctly. Thanks for sharing.
