55 years ago this week, if the story is to be believed, a truck waited at a rest area in the middle of Utah, waiting to find out if it should travel west or east. In the balance hung the hopes of two cities that each wanted a big league baseball team. In Part 1 of a two part episode, Mike and Bill look at the troubled first year of the Seattle Pilots and the messy process that left them on the verge of moving to Milwaukee. Plus, happy birthday to Gary Pettis and Tommy Holmes!
Part 2: Bud Selig and the Birth of the Brewers: https://thisweekinbaseballhistory.libsyn.com/episode-195-bud-selig-and-the-birth-of-the-brewers-part-2
