Do anybody see the Cubs game yesterday, and Fergie Jenkins and Greg Maddux have their numbers retired. It was a great honor for two terrific pitchers. They gave me alot of wonderful memories over their careers. The only problem was, when they raised the flag for Maddux, THEY SPELLED HIS NAME WRONG!!! I didn't hear any of the commentaters say anything about the flag saying MADDIX. GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!!!!!

I just loved watching both of those guys pitch. Fergie was so smooth. His fastball had so much movement on it. Both of these guys did so many things really well, but if I had to narrow it to one thing that made them great, I'd have t say that they could spot the fastball. CONTROL! They didn't walk hitters to open to open innings. They stayed just off the plate and away from the zone.

Loved watching Maddux pitch. If he hit you with a pitch - he meant it. I always felt like I was watching Robert Downey Jr. pitch.

I'm no baseball stat quoter. But I really remember watching him during the Braves - Indians world series after the strike a few years ago. I was at Rockingham watching Nascar (then winston cup).

Good times.

Didn't notice the mispelling. I did notice his son's pitch was a bit wide, Fergie did all the singing during the stretch, and loved the announcers talking abut how he had the ability to control the pitch after it left his hand.
