Many probably know this but I’ll repeat it here. Simply amazing:
Maddux faced 20,421 batters during his time in the league. In those 20,421 at-bats, only 310 hitters saw a 3-0 count. Out of those 310, 3-0 counts, 177 of them were intentional walks. |

Until he ended it with an intentional pass, Maddux once went 72 straight innings without a walk.

Humble guy. An admirable quality usually displayed by people confident they are good.

Or perhaps more likely, he was simply a realist.
