The Milwaukee Brewers are a Major League Baseball team based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which plays in the Central Division of the National League.

They play their home games at Miller Park, which opened in 2001 and currently holds 42,200 spectators.

The team originated in Seattle, Washington, as the Seattle Pilots, where they played for one season, 1969, before changing names and moving to Milwaukee.

The Brewers were part of the American League from their creation as an expansion club in 1969 through the 1997 season, after which they moved to the National League Central Division.

Milwaukee won the American League East Division title and the American League Pennant, earning the team its only World Series appearance in franchise history.

With the season's opening day only six days away, there was not enough time to order completely new uniforms, so the club had to remove the Pilots logo from team uniforms and replace them with Brewers logos.

Selig's original intention had been to adopt navy and red as the team colors, hearkening back to the minor league club (souvenir buttons sold at White Sox games at County Stadium featured the major league club's logo in that color combination), but with no time to order new uniforms, the Brewers adopted the blue and gold of the Pilots as their own.

On November 2, 1974, the Milwaukee Brewers orchestrated a trade that brought one of the most beloved Braves back to Milwaukee, sending outfielder Dave May and a player to be named later (minor league pitcher Roger Alexander) to the Braves for Hank Aaron.
