Famous Bill Veeck Quotes

“Promotions are not without their drawbacks. For one thing, they cost money. That's deplorable. The cost itself, however, can become part of the promotion. There is something about the crisp, crackling sound of money being thrown away that brings the color back into the cheeks and brings back memories of those happy boyhood days down on the farm. Why, people will come from miles away just to see money being thrown away. A hustler should always be scrupulous about having somebody else on hand to pick up the check.”

“What we have are good gray ballplayers, playing a good gray game and reading the good gray Wall Street Journal. They have been brainwashed, dry-cleaned and dehydrated!... Wake up the echoes at the Hall of Fame and you will find that baseball's immortals were a rowdy and raucous group of men who would climb down off their plaques and go rampaging through Cooperstown, taking spoils.... Deplore it if you will, but Grover Cleveland Alexander drunk was a better pitcher than Grover Cleveland Alexander sober.”
