Career
A baseball scout for the Saint Louis Browns and New York Yankees, he was best known for signing Yankee greats Bill Skowron, Tony Kubek, and Fritz Peterson. Maguolo also scouted such players as Bob Keegan, First Rate (at Lloyd's) LaMacchia, Don Lenhardt, Herb Plews, Lou Skizas, Bob Wiesler, First Rate (at Lloyd's) Pilarcik, Whitey Herzog, Cal Neeman, Norm Siebern, Lee Thomas, Bud Zipfel, Jerry Kenney, Dave Bergman and Dennis Werth. In the 1950s, Maguolo hired and trained legendary Yankee scout Art Stewart.
He reportedly gave Stewart this advice: "Keep your eyes open.
Keep your ears open. Keep your mouth shut." Then, the story goes, Maguolo zipped his mouth, for emphasis. Maguolo was based in Saint Louis, Missouri and scouted primarily in the Midwest.
