Milwaukee Brewers

From Wiklifield

The Brewers began as the Seattle Pilots in 1969 and moved the next year to Milwaukee and became the Brewers(the original team name of the current Baltimore Orioles franchise). The two teams did not meet until 1997 in interleague play but now meet regularly since a realignment plan moved the Brewers to the National League in 1998 and the two teams in the same division. Due to their proximity (about 90 miles), the teams have become fierce rivals and Milwaukee often complains of having their home games overtaken by Cubs fans when the teams meet.
