The Launching Pad: A Tribute To The Professor

    Maddux was an artist on the mound. A pitchers pitcher and an absolute joy to watch. He will be missed by all baseball fans.

    Typos aside I enjoyed your article. I've always loved Maddux and he was amazing to watch. I'm a Braves fan but when he pitched for one of the teams after he left the Braves I would watch him pitch because he was always amazing.

    He will be missed.

    I agree, a class act. We need more of those in baseball.

    For more ridiculous stats, and a very good post about why Maddux is the best pitcher in history, read the excellent case from fanhouse:

    I remember heading to a game in the mid 90's with a friend and his son. He leaned over to his son and said "this is not only the greatest pitching staff this season, it's probably the greatest pitching staff that has ever been and will ever be. You're really lucky to get to see this son". He and I got it but I don't think his son really did.

    Maddux you are the man and will be missed by this Braves fan!

    Love it. Greatest pitcher ever... PERIOD

    You completely forgot the 18 Gold Glove awards.

    Even though it was 17 seasons of 15 or more wins you can stretch that out to 20 seasons of 13 or more and all those 20 seasons he threw 198 or more innings. Finally an 8 time all-star, a number which just sounds to low for Maddux.

    Would love to see Maddux get 100% of the vote - and he should. I feel sorry for the idiot(s) who will probably try to be "creative" with their vote and leave him off.

    Guaranteed not to get 100% of the HOF vote...

    "Weather" really? Ruined the (w)hole article.
  • PWHjort · 1 year ago
    David, the typo was a tribute to your last name.

    "Weather or not you believe ..."

    Weather?! Gah.
