A truly excellent article. Only change that I would think about making is a mention of his autobiography, Veeck as in Wreck, but I won't touch an article that good to change anything myself!

[edit] What about Bill Giles?
This entry says "Veeck was the last owner to purchase a baseball franchise without an independent fortune," but I think the chairman/owner of the Phillies, Bill Giles, had to mortage his home when he bought the team in the early 1980s. Giles wasn't "poor" by any means but he definitely did not have an independent fortune.
