Bob Speake Baseball

[caappy]

Robert Charles Speake (born August 22, 1930), nicknamed "Spook", is an American former professional baseball player. He was an outfielder for the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball in the 1950s. The Army stint kept Speake out of professional baseball for two years.

While playing for Joplin in the KOM League as a Class D player in 1949, Speake slugged 14 homers to seven for Mantle, who played for Independence. A year later, both played in Topeka while in the Class C Western Association. Mantle flexed his power and topped Speake in homers that year. He also engaged the Mick in foot races.

Chicago Cubs (1955; 1957)
