He didn’t need to throw at you to send a message—though sometimes, he did that too.
Sal Maglie pitched like every game was a grudge match, and every batter owed him something. Scowling from the shadows of the mound, he earned his nickname the hard way—shaving the plate, and the nerves of anyone who dared crowd it.
From blacklisted rebel to World Series star, Maglie’s story is one of baseball’s great contradictions—and great comebacks.
This week, I’m proud to release “Sal the Barber”, a Pop Fly tribute to the man who made pitching personal.
