Here's his autobiography
And Bill is the reason the Tribe has Chief Wahoo. His autobiography, Veeck as in Wreck is a fantastic read. I suggest it to everyone! Murray has a screenplay where he would play Bill, but it never got made. (#7 on list). Last I heard it was because baseball movies are a tough sell in foreign markets.
This guy used his as an ashtray.
He also wins the "best autobiography title ever" category, I'd say.
The one I recommend to everyone is The Baseball Fan's Companion, it is unfortunately out of print but easy to find used. I'd also recommend:
The Glory of their Times by Lawrence Ritter
Veeck as in Wreck by Bill Veeck
Stolen Season by David Lamb
Can't Anybody Here Play this Game by Jimmy Breslin
The Wrong Stuff and Have Glove Will Travel by Bill Lee
You Gotta Have Wa by Robert Whiting
