History

Historical Context

In 1969, Major League Baseball expanded to include the Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots, increasing the league to 24 teams. This expansion was driven by the sport's rising popularity, with attendance surpassing 20 million that year. The Royals have since achieved notable success, including a World Series title in 1985, while the Pilots faced bankruptcy after just one season, relocating to Milwaukee.
