Pilots game films are so rare that even Major League Baseball has none in their archives. However, there is a 17 minute documentary called The First Voyage, that does an excellent job of chronicling the team's origin and also includes action filmed at Sick's Stadium and at Pilots Field in Tempe. It was meant to be the first in an annual series of highlights films, but since there was no second season, there was no second film. The First Voyage sells for $39.95, including postage and handling. It's always in stock and available from:

Roman Pro Pilots cap The question I'm asked most-frequently is where to buy a Pilots cap. It used to be that the only accurate reproductions were made by Roman Pro, a company in Massachusetts that is no longer in business. I was at the Mariners team store recently and saw that they had a stock of Pilots caps made by New Era. Unlike New Era's first try, in which all elements were too small, these caps look accurate.

This is a shot of my Roman Pro cap. I had a hard time matching the color, but it will give you a reference as you look for your own cap. The design on the bill is the part that almost everyone has gotten wrong. It looks more like a stalk of wheat than the "scrambled eggs" you'd see on naval-style caps.

Old Time Baseball game The Pilots live on in a fantastic video game by Stormfront Studios, called Old Time Baseball.

The game includes every major league team from 1871 to 1981 and there are also 3-D models of 16 classic stadiums, including old Comiskey Park (the only one in the game where the Pilots actually played). Sadly, it's out of print, but you can still find a copy on the Web once in a while.
