Go, Go You Pilots

Super random, I know, but how sweet is this:

It's the team song of the old MLB Seattle Pilots (now the Milwaukee Brewers). Somehow I could see the lyrics (below) getting tweaked a bit to fit UP. Smile

Pretty cool logos too, huh? Kind of makes me nostalgic for the Pilot wheel, but I suppose it's another example of how that kind of wheel was used for a lot of different logos.

Go, Go You Pilots!
You proud Seattle team.
Go, Go You Pilots!
Go out and build a dream.

You brought the majors to the
Evergreen Northwest.
Now Go, Go You Pilots!
You’re going to be the best.

Welcome the Yankees
With pinstripe suits and all.
Red Sox and Royals
From April ‘till the Fall.

American Leaguers
You’ve got what’s know as class.
So, welcome to Seattle
It’s going to be a gas.

Go, Go, Go, Go, Go, Go, Go, Go

Now Go, Go You Pilots!
You’re going to be the best.

White Sox and Tigers
The Angels and the A’s.
See them at the ballpark
On those good ol’ summer days.

Orioles and Senators
The Indians and Twins
Our Pilots ask no favors
As they battle you for wins.

So Go, Go You Pilots!
You proud Seattle team.
Go, Go You Pilots!
It’s time to shout and scream.
We’re with you Pilots
You’re big league all the way.
So Go, Go You Pilots!
Go, Go You Pilots!
Go, Go You Pilots!
When the umpire hollers, “play!”

Yeah, the logo is fine, but their cap was one of the ugliest in baseball history: Royal blue with a gold block "S," a gold horizontal bar across the front, and some gold leaves on the bill. Y'know, for the "pilot" look. The jerseys weren't all that bad, though.

Another random fact: Jim Bouton was a Pilot for the first half of Ball Four.
