- catalog abstract ""Sal Maglie was a feared and hated pitcher perhaps best known for his vicious knockdown pitches. Yet he was also respected as a ferocious competitor, one who pitched with his arm and his head, one who could be depended upon when his team needed a victory, and one who refused to quit, even when faced with blacklisting, crippling injuries, and advanced age. Off the field, he was an amiable man." "This chronicle of his life and career recounts his unspectacular minor league career, his 1945 debut with Mel Ott's New York Giants, his blacklisting by organized baseball for playing in Jorge Pasquel's Mexican League, and his rejoining the Giants in 1950 at the age of 33 for a stellar career in the majors. The narrative includes game-by-game analyses, intimate portraits of the men Maglie played with and against - Mel Ott, Eddie Stanky, Monte Irvin, Jackie Robinson, Carl Furillo, Willie Mays, among others - and a look at baseball as it was played in the 1940s and 1950s."--Jacket.".
