5/3/09 PT 2 Greg Maddux & Fergie Jenkins Number Retirement Ceremony at Wrigley Field Chicago Cubs

I was at that one

By the way, 8 all-star games does seem way too low given who he is and what he did. I think a couple times he discouraged selection, and a few others his stats were better in the season's second half, after All-Star selection (and when pennant races are in full force).

Getting to 300 wins in this era with an ERA below 3.00 (I think it was 2.94 when he reached 300), when considered seriously, may be one of the top handful of accomplishments in baseball history. Pedro's ERA, for example, is almost 3.00 now and his win total is in the low 200s. Amazing.

And his speech here is actually longer than the one he gave in Atlanta, he simply isn't a man for words

I think he'll go in as a Brave. He had better years when he was with them. Either way great player.

There is no question that he will go in as a Brave. He made baseball history in Atlanta. Even if he wanted to be a Cub, the HOF can veto a players selection like they did with Wade Boggs who wanted to go in as a Yankee

Too bad they didn't get Lee Elia to give a little speech about how much he appreciates Cubs fans

he is not a cub a Brave all the way...

He is a Cub. I don't think any Cub fan denies his true greatness came as a Brave but he achieved excellence as a Cub as well. Not to mention the fans in Chicago love him. I'd be mad if he wore a Cub hat in Cooperstown hehe

Greg Maddux is An Chicago Cubs Forever # 31
