About This Item
Canada: Popular Library., 1972. Book. Illus. by PHOTO Cover!. Near Fine.. Soft cover. First Edition By This Publisher,.. 351 pages. "With the madcap flair of a man who once sent a midget to bat for the St. Louis Browns, Bill Veeck - the Barnum and Bailey of sports promoters - describes his disastrous adventures as a neophyte racetrack operator. Though Veeck tried everything from anall girl jockey lady Godiva Handicap to a full scale reenactment of Custer's last Stand to lure fans to his beleaguered Boston track, he was done in by a political system so corrupt it made thirty tons of thoroughbred 'end products' smell sweet in comparison. Boisterous, tough-minded, Veeck's eye-opening look at the hectic world of horseracing is a guaranteed winning ticket of roughriding entertainment." Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" Tall..
