Gordon Maltzberger

Gordon Ralph Maltzberger (September 4, 1912 – December 11, 1974) was an American professional baseball player.

The native of Utopia, Texas, was a right-handed relief pitcher over parts of four seasons (1943–1944 and 1946–47) with the Chicago White Sox of Major League Baseball, and led the American League in saves (14) and (12) over his first two MLB seasons.

After brief stints with the 1932 Los Angeles Angels and 1934 Hollywood Stars, he put in seven full seasons from 1936–1942 in other, lower-classification leagues before making the White Sox in 1943 during the midst of the World War II manpower shortage.

He then managed in the Pittsburgh Pirates, Milwaukee Braves and White Sox farm systems[3] and served as the pitching coach of the Minnesota Twins for three seasons.
