Bill Veeck was born on February 9, 1914, in Chicago, Illinois. While Veeck was growing up in Hinsdale, Illinois, his father, William Veeck Sr., became president of the Chicago Cubs. Veeck Sr. was a local sports writer who wrote several columns about how he would have run the Cubs differently, and the team's owner, William Wrigley Jr., took him up on it. While growing up, the younger Veeck worked as a popcorn vendor for the Cubs.

Veeck had been a fan of the Negro Leagues since his early teens. He had also admired Abe Saperstein's Harlem Globetrotters basketball team, which was based in Chicago. Saperstein saved Veeck from financial disaster early on in Milwaukee by giving him the right to promote the Globetrotters in the upper Midwest in the winter of 1941-42.  In the fall of 1942, Veeck met with Gerry Nugent, president of the Philadelphia Phillies, to discuss the possibility of buying the struggling National League team. He later wrote in his memoirs that he intended to buy the Phillies and stock the team's roster with stars from the Negro Leagues. Veeck quickly secured financing to buy the Phillies, and agreed in principle to buy the team from Nugent. While on his way to Philadelphia to close on the purchase, Veeck decided to alert MLB Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis of his intentions. Although Veeck knew Landis was an ardent segregationist, he did not believe Landis would dare say black players were unwelcome while blacks were fighting in World War II. By the time he arrived in Philadelphia, Veeck discovered the Phillies had been officially taken over by the National League and that a new owner was being sought (the Phillies were ultimately sold to lumber baron William D. Cox).  The authors of a controversial article in the 1998 issue of SABR's The National Pastime argued that Veeck invented the story of buying the Phillies and filling their roster with Negro leaguers, claiming Philadelphia's black press made no mention of a prospective sale to Veeck. Subsequently, the article was strongly challenged by the late historian Jules Tygiel, who refuted it point-by-point in an article in the 2006 issue of SABR's The Baseball Research Journal, and in an appendix, entitled "Did Bill Veeck Lie About His Plan to Purchase the '43 Phillies?", published in Paul Dickson's biography, Bill Veeck: Baseball's Greatest Maverick.

Bill Veeck föddes den 9 februari 1914 i Chicago i Illinois. Medan Veeck växte upp i Hinsdale i Illinois blev hans far, William Veeck Sr., president för Chicago Cubs. Veeck Sr. var en lokal sportskribent som skrev flera kolumner om hur han skulle ha drivit Cubs annorlunda, och lagets ägare, William Wrigley Jr., tog upp honom på den. Under sin uppväxt arbetade den yngre Veeck som popcornförsäljare åt Cubs. Veeck hade varit ett fan av Negro Leagues sedan hans tidiga tonår. Han hade även beundrat Abe Sapersteins basketlag Harlem Globetrotters, som var baserat i Chicago. Saperstein räddade Veeck från ekonomisk katastrof tidigt i Milwaukee genom att ge honom rätt att marknadsföra Globetrotters i övre Mellanvästern vintern 1941-42. Hösten 1942 träffade Veeck Gerry Nugent, president i Philadelphia Phillies, för att diskutera möjligheten att köpa det kämpande National League-laget. Han skrev senare i sina memoarer att han hade för avsikt att köpa Phillies och fylla lagets roster med stjärnor från Negro Leagues. Veeck säkrade snabbt finansiering för att köpa Phillies, och gick i princip med på att köpa laget från Nugent. Medan han var på väg till Philadelphia för att avsluta köpet, beslutade Veeck att varna MLB:s kommissionär Kenesaw Mountain Landis för sina avsikter. Trots att Veeck visste att Landis var en ivrig segregationist trodde han inte att Landis skulle våga säga att svarta spelare var ovälkomna medan svarta stred i andra världskriget. När han kom till Philadelphia upptäckte Veeck att Phillies officiellt hade övertagits av National League och att man sökte en ny ägare (Phillies såldes slutligen till skogsbaronen William D. Cox). Författarna till en kontroversiell artikel i 1998 års nummer av SABR:s The National Pastime menade att Veeck uppfann historien om att köpa Phillies och fylla deras roster med negerligar, och hävdade att Philadelphias svarta press inte nämnde en prospektiv försäljning till Veeck. Därefter blev artikeln starkt ifrågasatt av den framlidne historikern Jules Tygiel, som vederlade den punkt för punkt i en artikel i 2006 års utgåva av SABR:s The Baseball Research Journal, och i en bilaga, med titeln "Ljög Bill Veeck om sin plan att köpa de '43 Phillies? ", publicerad i Paul Dicksons biografi, Bill Veeck: Baseball's Greatest Maverick. Joseph Thomas Moore skrev i sin biografi över Doby, "Bill Veeck planerade att köpa Philadelphia Phillies med den hittills oanmälda avsikten att bryta den färglinjen."
