Tom and Doug are joined by the wizard of the ST. Paul Saints, Mike Veeck. It's a show all about baseball and a welcome respite from Covid 19. Mike is a 3rd generation baseball owner and regales us with some of the worst failures of his marketing career including but not limited to getting thrown out of pro ball for 10 years after blowing up a pile of disco records at Comisky stadium. He talks about donating Saints marketing funds to local businesses during the crisis. Then we take a trip into baseball history talking about how is father signed both Satchel Paige and Larry Doby (first black player in the American league) to pro contracts. Mike is a great story teller and his skills are on full display here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
