Bob Veale was a Pittsburgh Pirate for most of his career, signing as an Amateur Free Agent in 1958, debuting for the Pirates in 1962, and joining the starting rotation two seasons later.

From 1964 to 1967, Veale won at least 16 Games and was the league leader in Strikeouts (250) in '64.  He fanned at least 200 batters the next two years, and again in 1969, but he was also prone to delivering Walks, leading the NL four times in that category.

Late in his Pirates career, Veale helped Pittsburgh win the 1971 World Series.  He was sold to Boston shortly after, but he was never the same player.

Veale had a 116-91 Record as a Pirate.
