Another bespectacled wonder to join my list, which includes Ryne Duren and Jim Konstanty. Gordon Maltzberger was before each of them, pitching at a time when everyone wasn't really thinking about baseball. His entire major league career spanned just four seasons (Missing 1945), so he's another forgotten man. Yet Gord lead the junior circuit in saves in 1943 and 1944. Yet despite this, and a career best ERA the year after his return, he was out of the majors by 1948. And it wasn't as if he faded from there, winning 18 games with the Hollywood Stars of the Pacific Coast League in 1949. He continued to pitch in the minors until 1954.
