Default Maddux retires

Posted By: Jimi

I thought he'd pitch until he was 50, so I was shocked when I learned today that he is retiring. One has to wonder, would you put him in as one of the top 5 pitchers of all time? 3.18 ERA, I believe with 355 wins in the steroids era?

Deep down, even though I'm not a huge Braves fan, I thought it would have been awesome to have seen Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux retire the same year so they could be inducted into the Hall together. (Now, whether you believe all three deserve it or not is one thing...this I know.) happy.gif

I distinctly remember asking my dad in the 80s who he thought was better, Mike Maddux or his brother Greg? happy.gif
