I’ve spoken with Mark Cuban several times over the years. He was a big fan of Bill Veeck, whom my Dad wrote books with. I was talking to him about making Veeck, As in Wreck into a Movie...this man, who made this movie, didn’t think that people would go to see a movie about one of the greatest baseball promoters of all time...back when Baseball was a game. It would be a wholesome, family movie. Now, I wouldn’t let him touch our story if he offered us a Million bucks...and I’m not kidding.

Cuban is good on sports, but a jerk on a lot of life
