Added 5.10.18. In this 2012 interview, Milt with author Paul Dickson brings to life the epic adventures of Major League Baseball’s most prodigious innovator, the larger-than-life Bill Veeck. The Baseball Hall of Famer – and owner, variously, of the Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox and St. Louis Browns – managed to offend and irritate other owners at the same time he delighted fans and sportswriters. To delve into Veeck’s colorful family, personal and professional history is to go on a ride across the landscape of broader 20th Century American culture and society. Dickson’s storytelling on this episode puts the listener right in the middle of it all. He is the author of 60 books including an equally colorful biography of Leo Durocher, and “Dickson’s Baseball Dictionary.”
