The death of anyone is a sad thing, but I've followed the political scene for so long that I hope you'll permit me a small chuckle when I read that Mr. Veto died. (Did he get a 2/3 vote in both houses of Congress?)
On the serious side, Ed Veto was a fine pitcher who enjoyed only one year in the minors, but he had a good one. With the Red Sox minor league affiliate at Milford, DE of the Eastern Shore League in 1946, he had a 3-2 record with a 2.81 ERA.
Ed Veto had a long life, nearly reaching the age of 95. He was born on Nov. 15, 1923 and died on July 13, 2018. He was from Springfield, Massachusetts, and attended American International College. He was a World War II veteran.
The photo on the left comes from his obituary. The photo on the right is from the Springfield (MA) Union of July 8, 1948. It shows him with the Smith and Wesson industrial league team. He was employed with that firm for most of his life.
