(11,572 posts)Not sure you want to invoke him, and bring 121 loss vibes into this. How about Bob Feller? He was a good Iowa boy; a prickly SOB, but Iowa born and bred, and 266 Cleveland wins.

(763 posts)And he integrated the AL with Larry Dolby so Cleveland fans have more positive vibes about Veeck than Chicago fans.

(11,572 posts)He wanted to buy the Phillies and stock it with players from the Negro Leagues, but Commissioner Landis thwarted him. His father was President of the Cubs, and Bill helped plant the ivy on the outfield wall. I know he lost part of his right leg after being injured by an artillery piece in WWII. I even read his autobiography, Veeck As In Wreck, when I was 14.
I was trying to be somewhat humorous. Apparently I failed.

(32,738 posts)Guys can push with a new team. Thomas has really turned it around. He and Fry give Vogt flexibility in protecting Kwan and Ramirez in the line-up. And i'm especially jacked to see Gimenez and Rocchio contribute at the number 8 and 9 positions.

(1,609 posts)The last match-up we need to see is Yankees vs. Dodgers, though Manfred and the press would love it.
