Veeck Named UPI Major League Executive of the Year
Bill Veeck, the former Cubs ticket operations man turned team promoter, is selected by UPI sports writers as the major league executive of the year. He leads the Chicago White Sox back toward respectability after a 14 year absence, sharing praise with Rudie Schafer and teammates, while noting the award should honor the club as a whole. Veeck recalls early jobs in baseball and highlights his Indians pennant run 1948 attendance record and White Sox 1959 pennant before health issues paused his career. He returned in 1975 to face a mixed 1976 season and a strong 1977 second-half push with improved attendance.
