"Veeck, rhymes with 'wreck'"

Via TPM, the RiverDogs, a class A affiliate of the Yankees, plans to take Senate candidate Alvin Green at his word and will be handing out Lady Liberty "action figures" with his face pasted on.

The RiverDogs are owned by Mike Veeck, the son of Bill Veeck.

In response to his critics, Veeck once said, "All I ever said is that you can draw more people with a losing team, plus bread and circuses, than with a losing team and a long, still silence."
