"April 12, 1994, at Rickwood Field, the nation's oldest surviving professional ballpark, in Birmingham, Ala. On the set of Ron Shelton's great screen bio, 'Cobb,' I encounter two local former ballplayers serving as advisors: Harry 'The Hat' Walker and Bob Veale. I always had heard that Veale was the one who said, 'Good pitching can stop good hitting every time. And vice versa.' I ask him, 'Mr. Veale, are you the one who said Good ...' He cut me off with, 'Yes, I am.'" - Sportswriter Allen Berra in My Most Memorable Baseball Moments (Salon : July 26, 2002)
