Join 📚 Roger's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what roger's read, .
Over the last six weeks of the season, he led our team in home runs and runs batted in, and won game after game with the clutch hit in the ninth inning or in extra innings. I gave him the bonus, of course. I also put him to work selling tickets over the winter, because I wanted him to call on people personally so he could discover that they really didn’t have anything against him. The next season the booing stopped, and Smitty finished with the second highest batting average in the league.

Two decades later, the incident remained fresh to Veeck. “Were it in my power to turn back the clock,” he observed, “I’d never send a midget to bat. No, I’d use nine of the little fellows, including the designated hitter.” Veeck speculated that his tombstone would probably read HE SENT A MIDGET UP TO BAT, but he hoped that the epitaph would instead read HE HELPED THE LITTLE MAN.
