7. You may be confusing him with Bill Veeck.

Veeck, well-known for his entreprenurial stunts, was the Browns owner who hired Gaedel to play, and then later was the owner of the White Sox.

He's also the guy who integrated the American League by hiring Larry Doby when he owned the Indians. Veeck was kind of a cool guy. His autobiography, Veeck as in Wreck is a good book as these things go.
