Just read an an ESPN article about Greg Maddux’s retirement. Without a doubt the best pitcher that I have ever seen. It is a sad thought that he won’t be out there any more. I remember his early days with the Cubs. Amazing. I remember when he left the Cubs. Heartbreaking.

He has got the most wins of any pitcher alive today. More gold gloves than anyone. Not to mention 4 Cy Youngs. Never got caught in any scandals. He just went out and pitched. He didn’t even look like a great pitcher. Never really threw that hard, but he had great control, and knew more about pitching than anyone. He knew the batters, the parks, the umps, everything. He spent all his time watching tape of the opposing batters just to find their weakness.

All of this and perhaps the best commercial of all time:
