Those pesky youngins might have better luck finding him if they look up Maddux instead. (Though I imagine everyone knows who he is.  He retired just 8 years ago).

 

Maddux was truly great.  4 consecutive Cy Young awards on two different teams.  Back when the Cubs were constantly struggling, they let Maddux go as he was about to peak and then re-signed him after his peak years were gone.  Ryan's second stint seemed to emulate this model a bit but with even worse results.

I always thought Maddux misspelled his own name.
