Antitrust suit could be good thing Veeck says
Milwaukee businessman Bill Veeck said a county antitrust suit against baseball could be a real bomb and a great thing for the sport. He predicted it might force the Braves to stay in Milwaukee under new ownership or push immediate expansion. He argued fans should be treated as benefactors and proposed a sign proclaiming Open Under New Management at County Stadium.
