Happy # 87 Bob Veale, the tall lefthander

We remember Bob Veale, who was born in Birmingham, Alabama, on this day in 1935. 

Veale was 6'6 as well as a very effective lefthander for the Pirates in the 1960's.

Veale broke with Pittsburgh in 1962.   He won 18 games in 1964 and 66 games over the next four seasons.   He won 120 games and retired with a 3.07 ERA.

Happy birthday Bob Veale.
