Career highlights and awards

Walter Esau Beall (July 29, 1899-January 28, 1959) was an American major league baseball player who played for the New York Yankees on several championship teams in the 1920s. Born in Washington, D.C., Beall was a standout pitcher in the minor leagues^[1] before his contract was sold by Rochester of the International League to the New York Yankees in August 1924 for $50,000.^[2] Beall was a member of the 1927 New York Yankees, a team often considered the greatest ever,^[3]^[4] though he only pitched one inning that year (May 30 against the Philadelphia Athletics).^[2] Beall is remember as having one of the greatest curveballs in the history of baseball, though his lack of control prevented him from becoming a great pitcher.^[2] Teammate Babe Ruth noted that Beall possessed the "greatest curveball I ever saw."^[5]^[6] Beall died in Suitland, Maryland on January 28, 1959.
