When I was 16 years old I went to at least 25 games at old Sicks Stadium in Seattle and watched the first season of the Seattle Pilots.
I went there to watch major league baseball.
I saw stars, in a stadium that sat 29 thousand people such as big Frank Howard, Rod Carew, Reggie Jackson and managers like Ted Williams (he managed the Senators).
This league is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of that team that would become, one year later, the present day Milwaukee Brewers.
