Column: Netflix documentary on Mike Veeck’s life is a balm for angst-ridden Chicago White Sox fans

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:24:00 GMT

Mike Veeck had a documentary to promote, but he couldn’t start without getting one thing off his chest.“What’s going on with my White Sox?” he asked. “Man, they are killing me.”I told Veeck it was worse than he could have imagined. The man who gave us the Disco Demolition riot disagreed.“No,” he replied with a laugh. “I can imagine it.”Veeck, the one-time White Sox marketing executive under his dad, former Sox owner Bill Veeck, is the subject of “The Saint of Second Chances,” an upcoming Netflix documentary by Jeff Malmberg and Morgan Neville to be released Tuesday.The title refers both to the 72-year-old Veeck’s penchant for taking chances on people no one else would touch and his zigzagging career path from the ill-fated Disco Demolition Night promotion at Comiskey Park in 1979 to being unemployed to owning several minor-league teams to a return to the major leagues for one last shot marketing what then ...

Boston to update zoning code for first time since 1964

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:24:00 GMT

The city’s antiquated zoning code will receive its first comprehensive update in six decades, following the release of a BPDA-commissioned report highlighting how today’s regulations hinder residential development.The report, written by Sara Bronin, director of the National Zoning Atlas, at the direction of the Boston Planning & Development Agency, is critical of the “extreme length and inconsistencies” that make the city’s current zoning code inaccessible to most residents.These failures make it difficult for the city to create new housing units, and impede residents from making “even small changes” to their home or business without hiring a lawyer, the BPDA stated upon the report’s release.Related ArticlesPolitics | Worst of Hurricane Lee to miss Boston, but nor’easter and huge waves along coast Politics | Boston City Council rejects $2.55M set aside for police department intel Politics | Flaherty to Mayor Wu: Don’t wait on Bost...

VANCOUVER — An RCMP expert testifying at Ibrahim Ali’s murder trial told the court she has never seen a DNA match as close as the one between the suspect and samples found on his alleged victim — except for DNA matches between identical twins.Forensic biologist Christine Crossman said police investigators were very thorough in their collection and testing of genetic samples from the body of the 13-year-old girl, whose identity is protected by a publication ban.Crossman told the court only the DNA of Ali and the girl was detected from swabs of the girl’s vaginal area, where sperm cells yielded samples that matched Ali’s DNA.Ali has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the killing of the girl whose body was found in a Burnaby, B.C., park six years ago.“In any type of occurrence in which there is possibly a sexual component, the best exhibits from a biology perspective are internal swabs from the alleged complainant or victim,” Crossman said about how th...
