Bill Veeck-The Craziest Owner in Sports History

From signing a 3 foot 7 hitter, to installing a shower in the centerfield stands, Bill Veeck always kept things interesting. Journey through Veeck's ownership stints with three baseball clubs where he signed baseball legend Satchel Paige, made players wear shorts and inadvertently started the Michael Jordan dynasty.

What a fascinating dude!

[@theemperorstarwarslegends8075]

Agreed.

[@loyaldude10]

What an off the wall innovative visionary and tremendously successful guy. Too bad the other owners couldn’t put up with him

[@daniellinehan63]

When you called Sox ticket office in '77 you got Bill

[@thisisntme]

I didn't hear about the exploding scorecard that Veek put in Comisky Park.

[@buddmannable]

Bill was (is) a Marine....that should tell you all you need to know about what kind of man he was.

[@Mikethecubfan]

Now jerry reinsdorf still owns the team and hates his fans.

[@HunkMine]

Man was so honest saying it's not that exciting lol

[@ZacharyGreenberg18]

Wow!

[@ronaldstubbs9450]

Veeck put in the exploding scoreboard in 1960 for the White Sox. And sold the Sox to Reinsdorf and Einhorn in 1981

Named Larry Doby 2nd AA in AL as Mgr in '78

“Thus beck was ownerless again” wtf are you even trying to say like i get it your using the word thus to sound fancy but to state beck was ownerless again means your saying someone previously owned him and he now is no longer owned by anyone. 6:44

[@xXBLAKGOATXx]

Then you go onto say he soon to find another team to own like make up your mind is he the one with an owner or is he the owner like you must be young or not familiar with the English language so i guess i should cut you a break its just hard to watch something that looks to be a documentary but has so many simple mistakes in it

[@xXBLAKGOATXx]

Wait a second im starting to think your actually not as young as i thought and i got this feeling your primary language is english if thats the case theres no excuse for these errors

[@roycehuffman399]

10:57 "The greatest team in NBA history" ?!? Uh, no. Just no.

[@hugs4drugs205]

This is what I think about when I hear baseball purists talking about the sanctity of the game, your sport will die if you don't entertain people

[@xXBLAKGOATXx]

What a failure of a military career lmao😂
