He's at the podium right now thanking all the fans, media and teammates for all the years he's had in baseball.
The media received a binder on Maddux and, as you can imagine, it's fairly thick with impressive stats. A quick reminder: 355 career wins, one World Championship (1995 with the Braves), 18 Gold Golves and four Cy Youngs. There's no doubt he's a Hall of Famer.
"I think somebody will win that many games again," Maddux said. "It might be some kid in seventh grade. I think players today play longer and they take care of themselves better."
Not surprisingly, the room is packed.
