  • William Louis Veeck Jr. (/ˈvɛk/ VECK; February 9, 1914 – January 2, 1986), also known as "Sport Shirt Bill", was an American Major League Baseball franchise owner and promoter. Veeck was at various times the owner of the Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Browns and Chicago White Sox. As owner and team president of the Indians in 1947, Veeck signed Larry Doby, thus beginning the integration of the American League, and the following year won a World Series title as Cleveland's owner/president. Veeck was the last owner to purchase a baseball franchise without an independent fortune, and is responsible for many innovations and contributions to baseball. Unable to compete in the new era of salary escalation ignited by arbitration and free agency, Veeck sold his ownership interests after the 1980 Chicago White Sox season. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991. (en)
  • William Louis Veeck, Jr. (9 février 1914 à Chicago – 2 janvier 1986 à Chicago), aussi surnommé "Sport Shirt Bill", était un dirigeant de baseball aux États-Unis. Successivement propriétaire des Cleveland Indians, des St. Louis Browns puis des Chicago White Sox, il est à l'origine de nombre d'innovations, en particulier pour fidéliser le public. Il est élu au Temple de la renommée du baseball en 1991. Il est le premier propriétaire à faire signer un joueur noir en Ligue américaine en 1947 : Larry Doby aux Cleveland Indians, moins de trois mois après l'arrivée de Jackie Robinson en Ligue nationale. Il meurt le 2 janvier 1986, d'un cancer du poumon. Il repose au cimetière de Oak Woods à Chicago. (fr)

  • William Louis Veeck, Jr. (9 de fevereiro de 1914 – 2 de janeiro de 1986), conhecido simplesmente como Bill Veeck (pronuncia-se "Vék"), nasceu em Chicago, Illinois, e foi dono de três times da Major League Baseball, principal liga de beisebol dos Estados Unidos e Canadá. Veeck foi a última pessoa a comprar um time de beisebol sem dispor de uma grande fortuna. Ele era mais conhecido por suas "ações de marketing" e pelas inovações que ele introduziu na liga durante o tempo em que ele foi o dono do Cleveland Indians, do St. Louis Browns e do Chicago White Sox. Ele considerava o beisebol entretenimento, não religião. "Indiretamente, [o beisebol] compete com o futebol americano e com o basquete, e suspeito que um dia competirá [nos Estados Unidos] com o futebol. Afinal de contas, é apenas um acidente histórico que o beisebol seja nosso esporte nacional, ao invés do futebol, que é o esporte nacional em quase todos os outros países do mundo", escreveu ele em sua autobriografia, Veeck — As In Wreck.
