About Sal Maglie
- Salvatore Anthony Maglie (April 26, 1917 – December 28, 1992) was an American Major League Baseball pitcher and later, a scout and a pitching coach.
- He played from 1945 to 1958 for the New York Giants, Cleveland Indians, Brooklyn Dodgers, New York Yankees, and St.
- Louis Cardinals.
- Maglie was known as "Sal the Barber", because he gave close shaves—that is, pitched inside to hitters.
- Coincidentally, he also sported a five o'clock shadow look.
- He also had the distinction of being one of the few players to play for the Giants, Dodgers and Yankees at a time when all three teams were in New York City (Maglie's playing career pre-dated the 1962 establishment of the fourth New York major league team, the expansion New York Mets, with whom he was never affiliated).
- During a 10-year major league baseball career, Maglie compiled 119 wins, 862 strikeouts, and a 3.15 earned run average.
