Some of Veeck's most memorable publicity stunts occurred during his tenure with the Browns, including the famous appearance by midget
Eddie Gaedel for which Veeck predicted he'd be most remembered; and shortly afterward,
Grandstand Manager's Day - involving Veeck,
Connie Mack,
Bob Fishel, and thousands of regular fans, directing the entirety of the game via placards: the Browns won, 5-3, snapping a four-game losing streak.
