Bill Veeck Games Quotations

I was in the game for love. After all, where else can an old-timer with one leg, who can't hear or see, live like a king while doing the only thing I wanted to do?

To give one can of beer to a thousand people is not nearly as much fun as to give 1,000 cans of beer to one guy.

You give 1,000 cans to one guy, and there is always the outside possibility that 50,000 people will talk about it.
