    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.

  • O'neil Turns 100, but His Story Cannot Be Forgotten

    O'neil Turns 100, but His Story Cannot Be Forgotten

    O'Neil Turns 100, but His Story Cannot Be Forgotten By Paul Ladewski KANSAS CITY – Buck O'Neil turned 100 years old last weekend, and the birthday celebration staged by the Negro League Museum was just the way he would have wanted it. There were so many good baseball stories that even the statues had to listen, enough smiles to light up the room for days at a time. And every so often, there was talk about what might have been. O'Neil was never afforded the opportunity to play in the major leagues, but as their first African-American coach, he was in position to break another barrier, that of the first black manager. If the Cubs had asked O'Neil to assume the reins as part of their so-called College of Coaches five decades ago, how well would he have done? And what if any effect would he have had on baseball history? “Buck had everything you would want in a manager,” said ex-Cubs outfielder Joe Carter, whom O'Neil scouted and signed to his first professional contract. “He knew the game and had an eye for talent. He was a great teacher and loved to be around people. Not only would he tell where you needed to improve, but he did it in a way that made you want to do it. He had a way to get the most out of you.” Former Cubs outfielder George Altman witnessed what O'Neil was capable of first hand. He played briefly under O'Neil with the Kansas City Monarchs on his way to the big leagues.
