Kuhn: Seattle to land major league baseball soon
Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn said Seattle will receive a major league team, possibly for 1976, likely by relocating an existing club rather than creating a new one. He noted San Francisco Bay area cannot sustain two teams and cited the Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants as potential movers. He spoke in Seattle during a tour of King County's new 60,000 seat domed stadium slated for completion next March.
