About the Player
From the "This Great Game" card back: If Hollywood tried to cast a grizzled, no-nonsense, cantankerous baseball pitcher, they would have come up with someone who looked like Sal Maglie. The tall, swarthy righty with a perpetual five-o-clock shadow didn’t like it when batters dug in on him, and his nickname “The Barber” suggested that Sal liked to give confident hitters a close shave. He learned his aggressive style of pitching in Havana, pitching in the Cuban League under the eye of Dolf Luque, who taught Sal that “the inside part of the plate belongs to the pitcher.”
