Change Oriented Veeck Sees Baseball As Social Stability
In a Chicago perspective on baseball reform, Bill Veeck explains his shift from advocating speedups to embracing baseball as a stabilizing escape during the 1960s. He argues the sport matches the nation’s desire for calm amid unrest and violence, contrasting past calls for change with current contentment in the ballpark. The White Sox pace reflects growing attendance, with 866,819 fans over 41 home dates and average crowds of 21,145, potentially challenging the 1960 club record if contention continues.
