Fancy ballpark shower.

The Saint of Second Chances is out on @Netflix tomorrow.

Pretty surreal, and I'm biased, but hopefully you'll come along and have some fun...

...because, Fun is Good.

Today In 1976: Chicago #WhiteSox player/coach Minnie Miñoso gets a major league hit at 50 years old - some say that he might have been as old as 53! Check out those funky uniforms, plus a great call by Harry Caray! #MLB #Baseball #History #Inspiration

It's been a long time since I've seen anything on Netflix but I'm 100% going to see this.

As much as anyone, Mike Veeck is responsible for the independent baseball industry that I love so much (and have worked several seasons in) to even exist, let alone thrive

[Bill Veeck @Bill_Veeck]

This is gonna be fun. #FunIsGood

[Netflix @netflix]

It's a comeback story unlike any other.

The Saint of Second Chances premieres September 19

[Bill Veeck @Bill_Veeck]

@ckovash Right on.

[Bill Veeck @Bill_Veeck]

Anybody want to chip in?

It would be the most poetic ending if a Veeck bought the White Sox, made them fun again and put a great team on the field.

@femaletrumpet02 @gummyarts The greatest little guy I know.

Seeing Nancy Faust at the OLD Comiskey Park again is impossible without a DeLorean.

BUT ---> If you have any car that can make the 88 minutes from Chicago you can SEE/HEAR HER AT THE BELOIT SKY CARP game next Saturday, Aug. 26.

My epitaph is inescapable. It will read: “He sent a midget up to bat.”

Today In 1951: Eddie Gaedel, who stands only 43" tall, draws a walk on four pitches vs. the Detroit Tigers in his only major league plate appearance with the Bill Veeck owned St. Louis Browns! #MLB #Baseball #History

Today In 1976: Classic footage from the Kansas City #Royals vs. the Chicago #WhiteSox at Comiskey Park. The #ChiSox become the first team to wear shorts during an #MLB game! #Baseball #History

It really is a miracle we never burned the place to the ground.

July 10th 1976- Fire break out during the “World Series of Rock” concert at Comiskey Park. Three people, including a fireman, suffered smoke inhalation and were treated at a hospital. The concert continued after the blaze was extinguished, and billows of black smoke cleared.

Jimmy appreciated the vote of support.

@BSmile Growing up as a child, I called the White Sox office twice, just to comment (once wasto say I liked Jimmy Piersell on TV and ask that they not fire him). Both times the receptionist passed me straight through to Bill Veeck.
