Abstract: Abstract In 1969, the American League (AL) expanded by adding the Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots. The Pilots had to play in a slightly upgraded 25,400-seat minor league ballpark named Sick’s Stadium, which was not adequate as a homesite for a Major League Baseball (MLB) team. After 98 losses in its first season, skimpy attendance, and increasing financial problems, the club’s majority stockholder and President William Daley avoided a lawsuit by declaring bankruptcy during early 1970 and before MLB’s spring training period.
