The Pilots' All-Stars, New York Yankees at Seattle Pilots, May 14, 1969
Description
The Seattle Pilots organisation spent just one year in Seattle before moving to Milwaukee and rebranding as the Brewers. With just one year on the books, the Pilots' record brings up some interesting triva.
While several players on the 1969 roster would feature in various All-Star games, only two would wear the Pilots in the celebration of baseball. Don Mincher would return following his 1967 All-Star pick, but for today's classic, let's pick out right fielder Mike Hegan.
Hegan spent fourteen years in The Show, playing for the Yankees, the Pilots (and staying with the organisation to wear a Brewers uniform), the Athletics, back to the Yankees, and then back again to the Brewers. He made the All-Star game just once. In 1969. For the Seattle Pilots.
That’s in the future. Right now, he's about to face his former team as the Yankees visit Sick's Stadium in Seattle.
Frank Messer and Jerry Coleman take you through the game.
