They have no relationship with the one season Milwaukee Breweres (1884), who played in the Union Association, or the Mailwaukee Brewers (1891), who played for one season in the American Association. The AL Milwaukee Brewers of 1901 became the St Louis Browns in the following year, and today's Baltimore Orioles in 1954. The Seattle Pilots won their first game 4-3 at Anaheim Stadium on April 8th and had their one and only Opening Day game on April 11th, a 7-0 victory against the Chicago White Sox. Allan H. 'Bud' Selig and Edmund Fitzgerald returned MLB to Milwaukee by acquiring the "one-season wonders" on April 1st, 1970 (the Milwaukee Braves had played their last season in 1965 and then moved to Atlanta). The Brewers regular season debut was just 6 days later on April 7th at home (County Stadium), and they lost 0-12 to the California Angels (now Anaheim). When the Washington franchise moved to Texas in 1972, the Brewers moved to the Eastern Division. In 1994 they moved to the AL Central, and in 1998 became the first team to move from the AL over to the NL. Seattle Pilots 1969 Milwaukee Brewers 1970- |
