Best Answer

It was the innovative showman Bill Veeck, who brought exploding scoreboards and uniforms with short pants to the south side of Chicago.

Veeck, who once sent a midget to bat in a 1951 regular-season game when he ran the St. Louis Browns, owned the White Sox twice, from 1959 to 1961 and from 1975 to 1981.
