Bill Veeck, born in 1914 in Chicago, Illinois, was one of the most eccentric figures in baseball history. He was known for his many stunts and innovations, which he used to draw crowds and interest in the game. He started his career as a sportswriter, covering baseball for the Chicago Cubs, and later worked his way up to become one of the most successful and influential team owners in baseball.

Veeck made a name for himself in the 1940s and 1950s by promoting games that were designed to attract crowds. Some of his most famous pranks included installing a “disco ball” in the outfield and sending a little person up to bat. However, Veeck's most important contribution to baseball was his promotion of integration. In 1947, he signed Larry Doby, the first African-American player in the American League, to play for the Cleveland Indians. He also signed Satchel Paige, considered one of the greatest pitchers of all time, to pitch for the St. Louis Browns.In total, we tracked 356 items since 01/01/2008.
