  • Bill Veeck: Remembering the Good, the Bad and the In-Between on His 100Th Birthday
    Bill Veeck: Remembering the good, the bad and the in-between on his 100th birthday By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, February 7th, 2014 A man with the ultimate positive image as a friend of the baseball fan, Bill Veeck might have been the first to say that, yeah, he had feet (in his case, one foot) of clay. A speed reader of books, Veeck knew all about protag- onists who had many sides, not every one of them he- roic. It made a balanced portrayal for the book con- sumer. In that case, Veeck, whose 100th birthday is being marked Feb. 9, was the ultimate balanced man. His baseball-owner opponents would have added “un” to the front of “balanced.” In the process of bearding the game’s establishment, in attempting to be in front of trends to make money, draw more fans and ad- vance a personal, liberal philosophy, star promoter Veeck both succeeded and failed. A typical Bill Veeck image from his In doing so, he became one of the most impactful prime. He was nicknamed "Sport men in Chicago baseball history. He was a true Re- Shirt Bill" for his refusal to wear ties naissance man, whose life impacted more than just in that button-down, dress-up era. events on the diamond. Veeck saved the White Sox for Chicago when there were no other local buyers in 1975. He gave Hall of Famer Tony La Russa his managerial start in 1979. Veeck prodded Har- ry Caray to start singing in the seventh inning, a tradition that has long outlasted Caray’s death.

  • Wounded in Combat
    Wounded in Combat Baseball in Wartime Newsletter Vol. 10 No. 46 January 2018 Wounded in Combat As many of you are aware, my website, Baseball’s Greatest Sacrifice, is dedicated to ballplayers who lost their lives while in military service. During decades of research on this topic I frequently came upon incredible stories of the heroism and bravery shown by “battlefield ballplayers” who often displayed little concern for their own safety in helping to win the war against Germany and Japan. Some of these stories have been included on my Baseball in Wartime website. Others have remained with me over the years, as I pondered the best way to ensure these stories were told. Finally, these press clippings, interviews and scraps of information are coming together as a brand-new section on Baseball’s Greatest Sacrifice – Wounded in Combat. There are some familiar names among the biographies included in this section of the website. Bert Shepard – as seen on the cover of this newsletter – lost a leg flying P-38s over Germany. Lou Brissie and Morrie Martin suffered harrowing leg wounds on the battlefield. Hall of Famers Warren Spahn and Hoyt Wilhelm sustained battlefield wounds and Yankees player/manager Hank Bauer was hit by shrapnel in the Pacific. But you will find the names of players you’re not so familiar with. Big leaguers like Jack Knott, Bob Savage and Skippy Roberge. Forgotten minor leaguers such as Angelo DeLucia, Chester Sheets, Carl Petroziello and Alvin Kluttz, brother of big league catcher, Clyde. This newsletter contains a small selection of biographies from Wounded in Combat as well as a list of all players that have, so far, been included on the website.
