Greg Maddux has decided to hang it up.
The legendary Greg Maddux retired Monday after having one of the greatest careers in baseball history.
Maddux in the 90's joined the dominant Atlanta rotation of John Smoltz and Tom Glavine that helped lead the Atlanta Braves to win the 1995 World Series.
As a Cubs fan who watched Greg Maddux get his 300th win and his 3,000th Strikeout on WGN, let me say: Thanks for the memories, Greg.
"Mad Dog" showed that you didn't have to throw 95 MPH and strike out ten batters a game to be sucessful in the Major Leagues. You just have to be a smart pitcher, and Greg Maddux was without question, a very smart pitcher.
I Can't wait to see Greg Maddux give his Hall Of Fame acceptance speech in Cooperstown a few years from now. He deserves it.
Like a true Cowboy, Greg Maddux will now ride off into the sunset.
