Maddux Makes 350 Milestone
Greg Maddux won his 350th game in tonight’s 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. Maddux became the ninth pitcher all-time to do so (third in the modern era).
Maddux, 42, may be the greatest pitcher of the modern era without a mysterious abscess on his buttocks. With no revealed skeletons other than a farting fetish and a penchant for urinating on rookies, Maddux has compiled four NL Cy Young awards, seventeen Gold Gloves and a World Series ring.
For those who enjoy statistics, he has a miniscule career WHIP of 1.14 and finished four seasons with WHIPs under 1.00. He won at least fifteen games in seventeen consecutive seasons (1988-2004). He has made at least thirty starts in every non strike shortened season since he became a starter.
Maddux needs four more wins to pass Roger Clemens (354) and fourteen more wins to eclipse Warren Spahn’s modern mark of 363 wins.
As a modern Braves fan, here’s hoping Maddux is able to rack up 15 more wins and pass Clemens and Spahn.
He’s exuded class and consistency his whole career and has piled up wins without any doubt of performance-enhancers along the way.
