Female Cubs Exec Changed the Ballgame-- Part 3: Bill Veeck, Family-Centered Games and Waivers

During the 1930s, Miss Donahue, she never married, worked side-by-side with William Veeck's son, Bill. "She fed him this idea that baseball wasn't just about the men in the ballpark, that a ballpark should also have a family atmosphere."

Bill Veeck took that to heart in all of his future baseball undertakings.

She also became an expert on waivers.
