Last Chance: Veeck Exhibit at Arcadia Library
Relics ranging from an old wooden peg leg a midget's jock strap, pay tribute to the life of legendary baseball owner Bill Veeck.
Thursday will be your last chance to catch the exhibit paying homage to influential 4-time Major League baseball owner Bill Veeck.
Entitled Bill Veeck: Baseball's Greatest Maverick, the exhibit showcases items such as a midget's jock strap commemorating the time Veeck sent a player with dwarfism to the plate for the St. Louis Browns.
It also features 100 photographs of Veeck rarely shown in public.
