Hall of Famer Greg Maddux Talks Pranks, Bonds, & More w/Dan Patrick | Full Interview | 1/17/19

I once hired Greg Maddux to paint my house, but he only painted the corners =(

Best pitcher of my lifetime

Someone once asked Greg Maddux his definition of the perfect start. His reply.......twenty-seven pitches.

Easily one of the 5 greatest pictures ever. That's not even close to debatable. Saw him live many times and he'd already know how he was going to carve up the battery before batter would step into the box. Not really a physically opposing pitcher, but was one of the most cerebral players ever. It was like a surgeon carving batter's up. Like a artist creating a master piece every time. He was surgical and was fun watching batters walking away shaking their heads. He doesn't get the respect of mainstream fans that he deserved because he wasn't blowing people away. But ask most batters what is was like facing him and they say, we knew what was coming but usually had ni chance. He never wasted a pitch. I love the great strike out pitchers. But watching him was a treat. He deserves so much more recognition from typical fans.

Career Wins: Greg Maddux 355 Roger Clemens 354 Don't let Maddux kid you, he stuck around long enough to out win the steroid pitcher and I applaud him for it.

one of the must see pitchers of all time.

Maddux was with the Padres late in his career. During that season the Padres were so bad at stealing bases that during one month the team had just one stolen base and that was by Maddux!

Cy young won at least 15 games 15 years in a row, Maddux did it 17 times in a row. Not unanimous HOFer- eff that

Both bonds and Gwynn were the best hitters of the era

Best right handed pitcher of his generation.

Maddux is so humble in regard to his pitching against the best batters during his time. He has some extraordinary stat matchups (in his favor) against the marquee hitters in the 90's, early 20's

I faced Maddux in legion ball the summer after my freshman yr in college. He was throwing in the low 90's with movement. I think he was heading into his senior year of HS at Valley High. Anyways he was clearly the best pitcher I had ever faced. It was a real pleasure watching him become one of the greatest pitchers of all time. He seems to be humbled and grateful and appears to be such a class act.

Maddux, Smoltz, Avery, and my favorite Glavin. Best bullpen ever. I do miss 90s baseball

Maddux was amazing. In the era where so many of the good hitters were on steroids, AND so many of the pitchers were too. The fact that he has top tier numbers and he did it 100% clean...so many of the hitters he faces were on steroids...than can turn fly balls into home runs...AND his numbers vs other pitchers in his time period....he has similar numbers to Roger Clemens...a man who practically had a constant IV drip of steroids and HGH. Greg Maddux may be the best pitcher ever.

One of the GOAT and yet so humble and modest. Quality human being.

Great interview. Maddux was my favorite player growing up. Loved watching him on the mound. His command was unbelievable it was soo good. My favorite pitch of his was the circle changeup.

Life long Orioles fan here since 1969. Greg was awesome

My favorite pitcher! A pure joy to watch.

My favorite player of all time

1998 All -Star game. First inning jam bases loaded and pitches his way out of it. No runs scored facing at least four HoFers. Outside of his 1996 Gm2 WS outing vs the Yankees, this was the most impressive pitching I've ever seen.
