Rest In Peace Bob Veale

Continuing our remembering of Major Leaguers we lost in 2025 is former Pirates and Red Sox hurler Bob Veale. He played mostly before my time, so I never saw him play. But I remember him well. Especially those glasses!

Things you probably didn't know about Veale are he led the league in both walks and strikeouts in 1964 in a monster season where he went 18-12 with a 2.55 ERA. The two time All-Star had some pretty good seasons but his last few years in Boston were pretty forgettable! But his overall body of work was quite impressive.

We'll once again mention those glasses. Take a look at them. Where did he get them from? And why did he choose that pair? That's what I want to know. But either way, he will always be a Baseball Card Memory! Rest in Peace, Bob!
