I gotta be honest about Maddux, while totally great, I still think the umps made him much greater than he was. It seemed that every time he pitched, the strike zone got about 4-6 inches wider, away from the batter. Not only gave him extra strikes, but made the batter swing at bad pitches since he knew they were gonna be called strikes.
