Ironically, Seattle would lose its expansion club, the Pilots, after its lone campaign in the Pacific Northwest when the team was declared bankrupt and awarded to Milwaukee automobile dealer Bud Selig, who immediately moved the franchise to Milwaukee and renamed it the Brewers. Selig later became Commissioner of Baseball in 1998.
