“Folksy, self-deprecating, outrageous, and famously one-legged, Veeck was a burr in the bottom of major-league owners whose pockets were as deep as their hands were short. . . . Reading about Veeck reminds us that baseball is a wonderful game, nothing more, nothing less. And without a doubt, Veeck as in Wreck still stands as the most enjoyable, funny, brassy, pointed, and outrageous baseball book ever printed.”
— Chicago Tribune
“One of baseball’s most famous—and outspoken—owners tells his story in Veeck—as in Wreck. Veeck recounts his many years with the Cleveland Browns and Chicago White Sox, among other teams, and the friends and enemies he made along the way.”
