For those of you unfamiliar with Slade’s past history, when he served as Washington’s Attorney General in the 1970s, he sued Major League Baseball over the way in which it allowed Seattle’s MLB franchise (then the Pilots; now the Brewers), to leave for Milwaukee.  That successful bit of legal warfare resulted in the birth of the Seattle Mariners, which MLB was obligated to award to Seattle.  The goal of course with Slade Gorton’s current job is to keep the team in town this time.
