  Charles McGraw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born Charles Butters in Ohio May 10, 1914, square-jawed Charles McGraw grew up to become an actor and eventually made his first movie in 1942.
Gravel-voiced McGraw's notable roles include: playing the grumpy cop hired to protect Marie Windsor in the b-movie film noir classic The Narrow Margin (1952); Spartacus as Kirk Douglas' gladiator trainer; Lt. Jim Cordell in Armored Car Robbery (1950); Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (1963); and the cult classic A Boy and His Dog playing "The Preacher".
McGraw died accidentally in 1980 after slipping and falling through a glass shower door.

 John McGraw | BaseballLibrary.com
McGraw was notorious for blocking, tripping, or otherwise obstructing the baserunners while the lone umpire watched the flight of the ball.
McGraw responds to Dreyfuss' complaint by stating that NL President Pulliam could not "forget his former role as the secretary to Dreyfuss." A meeting of the Leagues directors results in a $150 fine and 15-day suspension for McGraw, but John Brush immediately gets a Superior Court injunction blocking the suspension and further hearings exonerate McGraw.
In September, McGraw will send Chase and Heinie Zimmerman home without explanation; during the investigation of the Black Sox scandal in 1920, McGraw will testify that the dismissal was because both players had thrown games and tried to enlist Fred Toney and Benny Kauff in their scheme.

 Amazon.com: John McGraw: Books: Charles C. Alexander   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
McGraw was so outsized, flamboyant, fiery, and, at times, sentimental, that it would be easy to caricature him; Alexander's remarkable achievement here is that he doesn't (nor does he succumb to hero worship or bubble bursting).
McGraw's career is a story of two baseball eras: its rowdy early days and the cool, corporate operations of post-World War I. McGraw's constant umpire baiting, penchant for inspiring either hatred or loyalty, and bond with star pitcher Christy Mathewson through many championship years, reveal a fiery, dictatorial, and brilliant man. Highly recommended.
McGraw was not only a very complex individual, but a great study into the inside workings of a man who just hated to lose.

 The Baseball Guru OMI: Faust and the Giants by Herb Rogoff AN ARTICLE FOR BASEBALL GURU:MAY 2003: FROM ONEMORE INNING
He had come from a farm in Kansa, he was a pitcher, and a fortune teller had told him that if he pitched for the Giants, they would absolutely, definitely, no doubt about it, win the 1911 pennant.
In the last game of the season, Charles Victor(Y), a Y had been added to his middle name by the sports-writers for obvious reasons, Faust, came in to pitch the last inning against the last place Dodgers.
After the series Faust was quick to point out to McGraw and everybody else that he had just promised the pennant and the World Series he had no control of.

 RollingStone.com: Papa Roach : McGraw Holds Off Charles : News
Tim McGraw continues his residency at the top of the charts this week, selling another 227,000 copies of Live Like You Were Dying.
McGraw's tally was just enough to hold off the late great Ray Charles, whose posthumously released Genius Loves Company -- a duets album featuring Norah Jones and James Taylor, among others -- debuted at Number Two with 202,000 copies sold.
With this week lean on high-profile new releases, McGraw should continue his chart run.

It's a battle of country titans on the charts this week, with the strong debut of Alan Jackson's What I Do knocking Tim McGraw's two-week Number One Live Like You Were Dying from the top spot.
Jackson's latest sold 177,800 in its first week, not quite the phenomenon that was 2002's Drive -- bolstered by the September 11th song "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)" -- which opened with 423,000 copies in January 2002.
Ray Charles' posthumous release Genius Loves Company fell a spot to Number Three (135,000), and Anita Baker, one of Charles' many soul disciples, debuted at Number Four, moving 131,000 copies of My Everything, her first album in a decade.

 Amazon.com: Spartacus - Criterion Collection: DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Fully restored in 1991 to include scenes deleted from the original 1960 release, the full-length Spartacus is a grand-scale cinematic marvel, offering some of the most awesome battles ever filmed and a central performance by Douglas that's as sensitively emotional as it is intensely heroic.
Meanwhile in Rome, the Senate is in a quandary, as the two rival Senators jockey for positions.
Initially, Charles Laughton seems to have the edge, but as Spartacus seemingly succeeds in the field, Laurence Olivier himself takes command of the situation and trumps Laughton.
