一代名投Greg Maddux宣佈退休，遺憾！

個人不是Atlanta Braves的Fan，不過有好幾位喜歡的投手在這裡，以往也看過他們不少比賽，這些投手把他們的黃金歲月貢獻在這裡、也伴著自己成長，Maddux就是其中之一。

他的豐功偉業、他的驚人成就，這裡應該不用多加敘述，只要聽看看跟他一樣在MLB討生活的人、是怎麼形容這位名投的，就知道他了不起的地方。

特別找了一些關於Maddux名句，收錄於下，讓大家看看與他同時代的球員、教練、球評，這怎麼看待這位球星的。

"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," ---Zambrano

"He's like a meticulous surgeon out there, he puts the ball where he wants to. You see a pitch inside and wonder, 'Is it the fastball or the cutter?' That's where he's got you." --- Tony Gwynn

"Every pitch has a purpose. Sometimes he knows what he's going to throw two pitches ahead. I swear, he makes it look like guys are swinging foam bats against him." --- John Smoltz

"He makes it look easy. You wish there was another league he could get called up to." --- Dwight Gooden

"(He has) talent I've never seen anyone else have. He has a back-door sinker and wisdom to actually outsmart anybody in the game. I'm so glad somebody small, someone looking like me, actually did it. I'm very happy for him and I wish him all the best and I hope he doesn't stop there." --- Pedro Martinez

"It seems like he's inside your mind with you. When he knows you're not going to swing, he throws a straight one. He sees into the future. It's like he has a crystal ball hidden inside his glove." --- Wade Boggs

"Greg Maddux is probably the best pitcher in all of baseball along with Roger Clemens. He's much more intelligent than I am because he doesn't have a 95 or 98 mph fastball. I would tell any pitcher who wants to be successful to watch him, because he's the true definition of a pitcher." --- Randy Johnson

"He was the smartest pitcher I've played with or against." --- Ozzie Guillen

"Maddux is so good, we should all be wearing tuxedos when he pitches" --- Phil Favia (Scout)

"Greg Maddux could put a baseball through a life saver if you asked him." ---Joe Morgan

"(Greg) Maddux is a master. He carved us up. He didn't give us anything good to hit." --- Jack McKeon

"One thing anyone can go through is a slump. Unless you're Greg Maddux, it's going to happen to everybody." --- Mike Piazza

"Any pitcher on this team should have the pleasure of parking their butt next to him on the bench during games and learning whatever you can from him and then watching him when he is pitching." --- Ryan Dempster

"When Greg's on, it's a joke. He misses location maybe five pitches a night."
--- Jake Peavy

"We've never seen the likes of (Greg) Maddux before, and chances are most of us won't live long enough to see the likes of him again." --- Rob Neyer

"He's the definition of pitching. He's not overpowering, he doesn't have tremendous stuff, but he gets it done every day, day in and day out. It's good that I can tell my grandkids that I had the chance to play behind Greg Maddux, the Hall of Famer." --- Juan Pierre

"When you think it's a ball, it's a strike. When you swing at what you think is a strike, it's in the dirt. He's a remarkable pitcher." --- Joe Torre

"You keep saying the same thing over and over and it sounds like a recording. Maddux was absolutely in command." --- Bobby Cox

"When he's on like this, it can be a boring game for the fans. It looks like you're not even trying." --- Paul O'Neill

"You could catch this guy with a tea cup" --- Tommy Lasorda

"I'd pay to see Greg Maddux pitch and I'd pay to watch Ted Williams hit."
--- Brian McCann
