The Senators traded Frank to Seattle for catcher Merritt Ranew in November 1969. He played for the Pilots in spring training 1970. The team didn't become the Brewers until April 1, 1970. 3 days later, Frank and former Mets prospect Roy Foster were sent to the Indians for Max Alvis and Russ Snyder (it was the first trade ever by the newly minted Brewers). Also forgotten by most, Roy Foster was named by the Sporting News as the AL Rookie of the Year in 1970 (though the official league award went to Thurman Munson) which, technically, means the Pilots--a team that only lasted one season--had traded away Rookies of the Year for two consecutive seasons. God, I love the Pilots.Stubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010142558613227433noreply@blogger.com
