If the idiots who said “I’m not voting for Maddux because I’m not voting for anyone in the steroid era” had their votes taken away (and they should) Maddux may have broken Seaver’s record.
Winning world championships goes along way in getting someone in the Hall of Fame. In this regard Jeter towers over Maddox, being a member of 5 world series champions and going to another, that the Yankees lost in the 9th inning.
Jeter’s numbers and his world series rings should put him in the Hall of Fame on the first ballot.
Although he was a very reliable pitcher I was never a big Maddox fan. His total victories came in 23 years in the major leagues, where he managed to win 20 games only one time, and only had one World Series ring to his credit.
In my opinion, Jack Morris was better than Maddox. I would have rather had big game Jack on the mound over Maddux if I had to win one game.
