ah, yes....the Seatle Pilots. I must re-read Ball Four...funniest book I ever read, was in 4th grade. Steve Barber would've been the "big horse", Jim Bouton (author) would have been Sandman - good one day, who knows the next - but Barney Schultz can only be Baffert (Justify is 6/6, Lou Brock is 20 / 20...) great memories of reading that.
Minor league affiliate was the Hawaiian Islanders and as Bouton's roommate (can't remember name) famously asked "if we get called back up to the majors, can we decline?"
