Yeah, I would have thought it was Veal, not Vee-lay!

Wow! That is avery nice item!! Glad to see a player who obviously appreciates the fans.

You previous post had me wondering what happened to him since he started out so well and then became rather obscure. He suffered an elbow injury in 1968 which forced him to change his throwing motion and his production fell off. That is really too bad.

On a brighter note he turns 89 on October 28th. Nice to see he is still around since so many of his peers have passed in recent years.!

Veale was an excellent pitcher through the 60s. Along with Bob Friend and Vern Law, those Pirates had a pretty good staff. I remember Veale because of his glasses. Not very many players wore glasses.

You may notice that two of the worst losses in Cowboy history occured in 1970. That 1970 team ended up winning the NFC championship and lost to the Colts in Super Bowl V by a last second FG by Jim O'Brien., This is the same game where Bob Lilly set the world record for helmet throw immediately after that FG which was about 50 yards. And as an added bonus Lilly didn't get flagged despite there being a few seconds left in the game! Awesome!

Will lightning strike twice for the Cowboys? No one knows but it is known that Mazi Smith will never come close to Bob Lilly's record in the helmet throw!

When I looked at that list the 2 blowouts in 1970 really stood out to me. I had to double check that and sure enough the Cowboys went to the ir first Super Bowl that year despite those two beatings. I never would have guessed that occured to that 1970 team!
