Less love, but still a ton of respect. When I was younger I sent him a bunch of cards to autograph, don’t know if he himself actually autographed them, but yeah, its nice having cards signed by maddux :)

The guy is a class act. Always humble, never in the media, never in steroid talks. 1st ballot hall of famer and one of the best pitchers to ever live. I remember growing up wishing I could pitch like Greg Maddux. He never overpowered a hitter with his fast ball but instead played a game of chess from the mound to the plate. It’s hard seeing Childhood heroes retire. Obviously biased but I always thought he was better than Clemens anyway (Braves fan). I’m posting here because I saw he would be retiring on Monday and knew my good friend and former roomate SC had a tremendous amount of respect for Maddux and would put something up about it. Since they didn’t do it at Talking Chop.

I had five of the McGwire rookies from the same set. Wish I had sold them off before the ‘roid news hit. Those things went down like stock in Enron. Had the ’85 Topps card, too. They were all worth a TON. Now they’re like German currency after WWII.

On the HOF tip, who thinks he’ll actually get in? I think the voters will keep giving him just enough votes to stay on the ballot until his last year. I’m on the fence whether they’ll finally give him the votes. I think his odds are better than Bonds’ will be.
