Tips Cap


Greg Maddux is going to make it official tomorrow. After 23 seasons, he will announce his retirement at a low-key press conference. Phillies fans can be proud that his career numbers against Philadelphia are a good deal worse than his career line. He went 29-20 (.592 W/L %) with a 3.47 ERA in over 400 IP versus Philly. Granted those are pretty good numbers but considering his career line (below), that's not half bad. Either way, its been a pleasure watching you do your thing Greg and good luck with whatever you end up doing after your playing career.



Here's his final career line:

740 GS, 355 W, 227 L, .610 WL%, 5008 IP, 4726 H, 1981 R, 1756 ER, 999 BB, 3371 SO, 3.16 ERA, 132 ERA+, 1.143 WHIP

Congrats Greg. You've had a hell of a career.

Would have been nice to have him be a Phillie at one point in his career.

Yeah, maybe we can sign him as a pitching coach. Maddux was awesome.
