William Veeck (D. 1933) was
president of Chicago Cubs from 1919 to his death in October, 1933. Under
Veeck's leadership, the Cubs won three pennants, in 1918, 1929, and 1932. Veeck
was a sportswriter for the Chicago's American in 1917 when Cubs owner William
Wrigley Jr. hired him to be vice-president of the baseball club. Having won the
National League pennant in 1918, Wrigley promoted him to president of the club
in July, 1919. Veeck was also the father of Bill Veeck, who is best known for
his time at the reins of the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians, and for
sending the midget Eddie Gaedel to bat while owning the St. Louis Browns.
