Yesterday Greg Maddux retired from baseball. I never really appreciated him until he become a Dodger in 2006, when I was able to watch him for the last part of the season. I knew he was a great pitcher but the way he sets himself to field the ball after every pitch is rather amazing. I quickly realized how he won 18 Gold Gloves.
In 2004 I took the day off work and drove to San Francisco to watch Maddux win his 300th game. And in a random turn of events I was also there for the last win of his career, #355, which placed him #8 on the all time list.
