A different Cardinal featured in Thomas Holmes' sidebar story in the Daily Eagle, shortstop Heinie Schuble. "The big leagues are pulling for Schubel [sic] to make good. The fans like his name. There is nothing more German than the name of Heinie Schubel. It will bring back cherished memories to some of the old-timers." Some of this sportswriting is really not very good.
Front-page news: the death sentence for Sacco and Vanzetti (many years after their initial conviction). From Ruth Snyder to Lindbergh to Coolidge to Sacco & Vanzetti, the summer of '27 was full of news stories that would resonate for a long time.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is exactly as old as Bill Veeck was the day his foot was amputated (11,953 days).
Anyone who wants to can look up how old they are here.
Sadly, Veeck was just getting started.
This reminds me of the time when I was a kid and had done something really stupid (yeah, there were many times when I'd done something really stupid, but this was particularly egregious) and my grandfather, whom I dearly, dearly loved, said to me "You're so smart. You wouldn't know how to pour piss out of a boot if the instructions was written on the heel." He was absolutely right, I knew at the time he was absolutely right, but my gawd it was so hard to keep from cracking up. Fortunately, I managed to keep a straight face. And I cherish that memory.
