About Walter Beall
Lived 1899 – 1959 (aged 59). Walter Beall was an American baseball player.
Walter Esau Beall (July 29, 1899 – January 28, 1959) was an American 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 before his contract was sold by the Rochester Red Wings of the International League to the New York Yankees in August 1924 for $50,000. He was used sparingly at the major league level, usually in relief. He made appearances with the Yankees from 1924 through 1927, and was a member of the 1927 New York Yankees, a team often considered the greatest ever —though he only pitched one inning that year (May 30 against the Philadelphia Athletics).
Beall died in Suitland, Maryland on January 28, 1959.
