I knew it was going to come this year or maybe next, but this is a sad day. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3748249 |

Which team will retire his number first? The Cubs or Braves? |

Maddux was my favorite pitcher to watch growing up. Congrats on a great career, Mad Dog. |

Fred and Dahl get 2 threads each on getting fired, and a legend retires from baseball and gets 4 posts? What is wrong here? |

Sad day. Second that he was my favorite pitcher growing up. It was quite a debate when I ordered my latest Cub jersey whether to get Sandberg or Maddux. |

Not sure on that one. McDonough might want to grab the quick pub from it. Especially considering it will be a double retirement for Fergie and Mad Dog |

Fergie is overdue for a number retirement. I think the Cubs had all along waited for Maddux to retire. |

Is he going to hang Maddux's #31 between Mikita's #21 and Esposito's #35 in the United Center??  That would certainly grab some quick pub!

I was suprised when Maddux made this decision. He had said a couple of years ago that he would pitch for as long as someone was willing to have him. I thought he might make an assault on 400. |

I thought he might make an assault on 400. It could still happen. Maddux doesn't strike me as a guy that would announce his retirement and then turn around and make a comeback...but with the money involved today, anything is possible. |

There's no doubt in my mind that Greg Maddux is a first ballot Hall-of-Famer, and while the Cubs could retire the #31 for both him & Fergie Jenkins, I think he'll be sporting the black & red cap of the Atlanta Braves when he does get the good news from the folks in Cooperstown, NY. |

With the exception of the retired number part, this might be the most obvious post I've ever read. Well done SHARK. |

And you're wrong, Darko. |
