F Roger Cheatin Clemens ass , this guy was a class act and the greatest pitcher I've ever seen

[MDH]

It's the class that players like Maddux bring to the game that makes me keep watching baseball.

[CMJ]

I was hoping he'd give it a go for another season or two. I wish he had more success in the postseason for his legacy, but he's probably the best I ever saw.

He is a great pitcher but he has nothing on Nolan Ryan

Exactly...I'll have a lot more respect for Maddox when he does something about the south Texas Snow Monkey population

Huh?

Huh?

Greg Maddux has had a great career but he is not, in my opinion, anywhere near the pitcher Nolan Ryan was. And I am not just talking because Nolan can still to this DAY through a fastball in the high 80's if not 90's, I am talking about his career as a whole. Nolan Ryan was a better pitcher than Greg Maddux.

[CMJ]

When Ryan was "on" he was a better pitcher. I mean no one has near the no hitters as Ryan. But Maddux was the model of consistency in his career(what was in...like 15 years in a row of 15+ wins?), wheras Ryan had very few great seasons.

The above by CMJ is why I stated "huh." Yes, Nolan was unhittable from time to time, but he could and probably should be defined as a thrower that relied on an overpowering fastball. Maddux was always a pitcher with a mastery of the strike zone like no other.
