[edit] Biography

Born on October 28, 1935 in Birmingham, Alabama, Bob Veale (Robert Andrew Veale) played for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Boston Red Sox over the course of his 13 year career. Veale broke into the bigs on April 16, 1962 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, and put up a 1.04 ERA in 77.2 innings pitched in 1963, his rookie year.
