he had the BALLS to activate his BRAIN and dominate the BRAWN
say what you want but he is the model of real success.
Outthink your opponent
"Making others look retarded" should be on his tombstone

He’s the GOAT as far as I’m concerned.

Same.
A great article from MLB.com about Greg Maddux. Introducing The Maddux"

This is what happens in sports, in life: Time moves on and even the most wonderful players -- and Greg Maddux was my favorite pitcher to watch -- slowly fade into the background. To my generation, Maddux was the pitching master; he won 355 games and four consecutive National League Cy Young Awards even though he didn't throw all that hard, even though his stuff did not intimidate hitters. It's hard to explain Maddux's magic to kids who didn't see him pitch.
quote:
A few years ago, a baseball writer named Jason Lukehart -- an obsessive Maddux fan like me -- came up with the concept of "The Maddux." It is simply this: Any pitcher who throws a nine-inning shutout in fewer than 100 pitches has thrown a Maddux.

Clemens is the GOAT, Maddux is #2.

Absolutely spot on if I didn’t know better and I met Gregory Maddux in a bar and he told me he was an MLB World Series winner and Cy Young winner, I’d laugh very hard. Maddux is the most unlikely looking person to be an elite MLB pitcher. He looks and behaves like an accountant or computer tech geek. It’s incredible.

Greg Maddox once shut me down for an autograph in St. Louis... I was 9 or 10 somewhere in there... we a had gone up for our yearly braves/Cards summer series
Only people on the floor... my dad and I... Greg walks up.... I ask for his autograph... and he said “ sorry kid, I stopped doing autographs a half hour ago”
Seeing my spirit crushed, I thought my dad was going to choke slam that arsehole ... we did not take the elevator down with him.

Or just have the biggest strike zone this side of Eric Gregg umping a Little League game.
The 90's were the pitchers best friend; if you framed a pitch way outside but pitched as a strike, the terrible umps of the 90's would call it a strike.
And nobody perfected that con better than Leo Mazzone.

Man seems like every pitcher should’ve done that then

Yeah and Wild Thing wore glasses.
He also liked to dress like a banker.

The ultimate Maddux thing:
Sticking around long enough to out do the known steroid user
Maddux 355
Clemens 354

He was great no doubt and his career backs it up but I'd take Pedro, Randy and Clemens over him in just his era. Avery was the talent on that staff.

Maddux. Ultimate tpos. Don’t rate.
