A Battery For The Ages: Munson & Maglie




Baseball Digest LIVE Archive show

Summary: Thurman Munson and Sal Maglie, All-Stars from the Yankees and Giants respectively, were never the darlings of the media. The fans of New York were another story, and these two grizzled competitors helped drive their teams to World Series championships. Their stories, told by authors Marty Appel (MUNSON: The Life and Death of a Yankee Captain) and Judith Testa (SAL MAGLIE: Baseball's Demon Barber) will join Mark Healey on Baseball Digest LIVE to talk about their award-winning books. Also joining the show will be former big league pitcher Dick Drago, who pitched in the majors from 1969-1981 with the Royals, Red Sox, Orioles, Angels and Mariners. Baseball Digest LIVE's Executive Producer and Fantasy Editor Jay Ferraro will also be on hand, discussing the Baseball Digest Fantasy Baseball leagues, as well as promoting the debut of his new show, the re-launch of "Gotham Baseball LIVE"!
