xpost, obv., and I'm not arguing that Maddux was as good as Grove, I'm just drawing a few comparisons.

Maybe that Sox pitcher who accused him of doctoring the ball last week is trying to help Greg out?

Chicks dig the fastball, not the black-catching change-up low and away.

Anytime Maddux's name is mentioned in 30 years, peeps need to bust out the "chix dig the long ball" commercial because that was some SERIOUS pantheon-type shit. I think I'd be happy if he was remembered for that above all else. You can't tell me that Clemens ever did anything that cool.

Yeah, plunging your arm into a bucket of rice can't even dream of comparing to "chicks dig the long ball".

So Glavine rides the coattails of that spot too?

Hell yes, however, the entire commercial might be tainted now because of Big Mac and his "testimony" in Congress (not to mention because of the homer-happy steroid era in general).

Sorry - it was a BARREL of rice, not a bucket.

seventeen years pass...

Came close a few weeks ago to starting a thread devoted to amazing Tony Gwynn-related stuff that is forever turning up on my FB wall. Didn't, but I can post this here: in 330 career AB against Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz, they struck him out three times.

(I can't check that, so trusting its accuracy.)
