Happy birthday, Billy Maharg

March 19, 2008

You couldn’t be blamed for not recognizing the name. But if you think back to the movie version of Eight Men Out and take a look at this picture of actor Richard Edson, you might recall Billy Maharg.

In the film, Abe Attell, Arnold Rothstein’s bag man and ex-championship boxer, says to the ballplayer, very observantly, “You, my friend, did not get that nose bobbing for apples.” A great line.
