Hight & Tight: Sal Maglie's Razor-Edge Legacy
There are players who dominated the game.
And then there are players who haunted it.
Sal “The Barber” Maglie didn’t overpower hitters—he unnerved them. With a stare that froze time and pitches that came uncomfortably close, Maglie earned his nickname the hard way: by giving batters the closest shave of their lives.
From the Giants to the Dodgers (yes, both), and eventually the Yankees, Maglie left his mark everywhere he went—not just in box scores, but in the minds of hitters who never quite got comfortable in the box again.
Why This Piece Matters
Sometimes, legends live in the margins.
Sometimes, they shine in their moment, but their names don’t reverberate as loudly through history as the years roll on.
Sal Maglie was one of those legends.
He didn’t chase headlines. He didn’t need to.
His presence was enough.
They called him “The Barber” because of how close he pitched to your chin. He made hitters sweat without a word. Made them doubt. Made them flinch. He turned discomfort into dominance.
You won’t find him on cereal boxes or in Cooperstown speeches. But you will find him in the memories of batters who couldn’t sleep the night before facing him.
This release isn’t about stats—it’s about a feeling.
The kind that only certain players could conjure.
The kind that lingered long after the final out.
A Legacy on the Edge
This piece is a tribute to presence.
To menace.
To the art of making hitters sweat before the ball ever left your hand.
“The Barber” didn’t just throw heat—he changed the atmosphere. He’s the reason pitchers became pitchers, not just throwers. And now, he takes his place in the Pop Fly pantheon—not because he was the most requested, or the most popular, but because he was undeniable.
This print captures Maglie in full mystique—gritty, glowering, and unapologetically manacing.
What is Pop Fly?
What is Pop Fly?
Pop Fly Pop Shop is an ongoing art project by Daniel Jacob Horine that started in 2020. At its core, the project features weekly limited-edition collectible art prints called “Pop Flys,” each measuring 7 x 10.5". These prints showcase sports legends and iconic moments, depicted in the vibrant, exaggerated style of comic book storytelling. Each release captures the magic of both sports and art, making Pop Flys a unique fusion of nostalgia and creativity.
What’s Included?
What’s Included?
Each Pop Fly art print measures 7 x 10.5" and is hand-signed and numbered by the artist on the back. It comes packaged in a comic book sleeve, reminiscent of the comics you collected as a kid. Additionally, each print includes a collectible ticket, which is also produced in limited editions. These tickets are as collectible as the prints themselves, adding another layer of nostalgia and value to the overall experience. We want the feeling of opening a Pop Fly to transport you back in time to those moments of excitement and joy from childhood.

Another home run for Daniel (He hit more than Rick Camp)!!! Besides all the different pieces to this event, I really love the colors that just pop!!
This is an awesome piece..let’s face it, anything Daniel does with Murph on it is awesome.
Amazing product!!!! I love it!!!
Thank you for another tribute to my childhood Braves (also have Power Alley and Murph). These prints are fantastic during the magic era of 80s Braves baseball. Thank you! #Murph4HOF
I try and get all the Braves PopFlys but this one was extra special for having so many players I grew up with. Every PopFly is different and spectacular in its own right.
Daniel's work is fantastic, and this print (like all my others) is an amazing design and a really high quality product. I'd give it 6/5 stars if I could.
This game brought back great memories for me and my wife. We were both watching this game in different states before we knew each other. Once we got to know each other, this game came up and we shared our experiences watching this crazy game. This rendition sums it up perfectly! Thank you!!
Beautiful artwork for a memorable event.
Great piece of art from one of the wildest games from my childhood
I know there were some delays in getting the pieces signed and inscribed, but I appreciate Daniel waiting to have all copies in hand to ensure numbering accuracy. The piece looks fantastic in person, and I'm happy to add it to my ever growing collection.
For those on the fence, now is the perfect time to get in on the fun, starting with print no. 201!
Excellent first time buyer very pleased
I'm very happy with this item. It was well worth the wait.
I love every PopFly I’ve ordered. Such beautiful art work. The colors. The imagery. I always look forward to seeing what’s next.
As always, a thoughtful and beautiful piece of artwork! Was such a fun idea, I like collecting checklists and will be excited for anything else like this in the future. Free Download was so kind too, Thank you Pop Fly!

“Every time I look at these prints, I think of my father. If artists can channel their adversity into incredible works of art that we get to enjoy, then we should challenge ourselves to turn our struggles into something that can benefit others.”
