Antitrust suit could be good thing for baseball says Veeck
Milwaukee: Bill Veeck predicts a county antitrust suit against baseball could be a bomb or a boon. He says Braves owners fear not the suit yet and a ruling could keep Milwaukee Braves or force immediate expansion. He suggests fan first management and a big Open Under New Management sign if Braves stay. He notes fans aren’t angry with the team, just about paying for travel.
