IQ:
Did you send a midget to the plate in Major League Baseball?
Correct on the Vukoviches.
EH, we should try to find out what sport. With only 2 DQs left, make the first one multiple choice (e.g., football, baseball, basketball), then if a yes, narrow it down with the other. If a no, then suggest some other sport(s).
Yes, I am Bill Veeck (as in “Wreck”)
Veeck was the colorful former owner of the Cleveland Indians, St Louis Browns, and Chicago White Sox. He was something of a legendary figure in baseball 30+ years ago, but I’d bet few fans under 40 know his legacy today.
Well done, EH!
OK, I remember that. He was betting the pitcher couldn’t get inside the midget’s strike zone and he was right.
Heh. Supposedly he told the midget that, if he took a swing, a sniper in the stands would kill him. It was just a stunt, and Veeck wanted a walk. I’ve been an Indians fan for a long time, and Veeck is still legendary in Cleveland.
Thanks, bordelond. Good one.
