On this day in 1967, the American League granted permission for the Philadelphia A's to move to Oakland. Also, new franchises were awarded to Kansas City and Seattle. Happy Birthday, Mariners!!

Well, it has to be either Alaska or Hawaii, so I'll guess...Hawaii.
Interesting Seattle baseball trivia...the franchise that played in Seattle in 1969 was called the Pilots. Before the 1970 season they moved to Milwaukee and became the Brewers. The Mariners came into existence a few years later and started play in 1977. So now we're up to 30 years of futility and counting...
Almost, JD! It's Alaska, which touches both the coldest waters of the Pacific and the warmest waters of the Arctic oceans.
Interesting about the history of Seattle Baseball...I wonder if the Pilots had better luck with post-season play :)
