A Utopia, Taxes native, Gordon Maltzberger compiled a 20-13 career record with 33 saves (not yet an official statistic) in 135 appearances (all in relief) and a 2.70 earned run average. Though Maltzberger himself missed the 1945 campaign due to war service with the United States Army, he likely would never have had a big-league trial and career if not for the manpower shortage due to the war. One of the few baseball players who wore glasses at the time, Maltzberger last saw big-league action in 1947, though he would pitch for additional six seasons in the minor leagues with the Hollywood Stars. Maltzberger would eventually get back to the big leagues as the pitching coach for the Minnesota Twins.

OF - Carl Furillo

"The Reading Rifle" was a mainstay in right field for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers, noted for his strong and accurate throwing arm that twice led the league in outfield assists. Also nicknamed "Skoonj" (derived from the Italian word scungilli ["conch"], Furillo's favorite dish) he was born to Italian immigrant parents in Pennsylvania. Furillo would drop out of school in the 8th grade to work various jobs while playing baseball in his spare time. Upon his mother's death at he age of 18, Furillo would pursue a professional baseball career. Like so many from this era, Furillo's career was interrupted due to war service (he received a Purple Heart for being wounded in action), but upon his return, Furillo would be an important cog for a Dodger team that were the National League champions seven times between 1947 and 1959. Furillo's outstanding 1953 season was cut short due to a broken finger sustained in a famous brawl between he and Giants manager Leo Durocher. Furillo's career came to a controversial end in 1960 when the Dodgers released him after suffering a torn calf muscle. Furillo sued the team, claiming they released him to avoid paying a higher pension amount received at 15 years of service, and to avoid paying his medical expenses. Though Furillo won the suit, he would go on to claim that he was blackballed from the sport due to his litigation. In the mid-60s, Furillo owned and operated a deli in Flushing, Queens, and in 1972 wrote The Boys of Summer with author Roger Kahn, about the pennant-winning 1952 and '53 Dodger teams. Furillo later overcame his bitterness towards baseball and became a regular attendee of the fantasy baseball camps at Dodgertown in Vero Beach.

Kolloway's family moved to Blue Island when he was two years old, and he continued to live there for the rest of his life.^[1] He began his baseball career in Longview, Texas in 1938 and moved up to Oklahoma City in the Texas League the following year, where his batting average was .302.^[2] He debuted with the White Sox in 1940. Kolloway was a line drive hitter with good speed, who seldom walked and struck-out infrequently. While playing for the White Sox in 1942, he led the league with 40 doubles and was among the AL leaders in stolen bases (16), caught stealing (14), and at bats (601).^[3] On June 28, 1941, Kolloway led the White Sox to a win over the Indians, as he hit two home runs, and stole four bases, including stealing second, third, and home in the ninth inning. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II from 1943 to 1946.

In May 1949, the White Sox traded Kolloway to Detroit for Earl Rapp. In 1950, Kolloway hit .289 and had a career-high 62 RBIs for the Tigers.^[3]
