The Mad Dog Gets His 300th

by Anthony Amobi

In spite of all the drug crap that has been going on in the sports world, there’s one guy who we may be certain that might not ever be dragged into the debate — Greg Maddux.

This weekend, he reached a impressive milestone.

Maddux became the ninth pitcher in big league history to win 350 games, reaching the plateau in his fifth try and leading the host San Diego Padres to a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies.

“It was kind of cool,” Maddux said. “I don’t want to make it out to be nothing, but it is May, and we haven’t been playing that good, and you just really want to win for the right reason and not necessarily for the wrong reason.”

Whatever Greg thinks of the whole story, it’s quite a feat.
