Reader Email: The Greg Maddux 2005 Gold Glove Award Is The Most Disrespectful Thing I've Ever Seen
That’s Greg Maddux. You’ve heard of him which reminds me of a time I was coaching high school baseball and some kid was like Hey Coach I’ve Never Heard Of Greg Maddux so I made him run laps for hours. That kid sucked. Anyone who doesn’t know Greg Maddux can run laps with that squid.
Anyways, he’s won a lot of gold gloves:
What’s news to me is the way Rawlings depicts Greg Maddux between GG #14 and GG #15, both of which awarded in his 2nd go around with the Cubs.
Heads up in advance it’s not pretty

Creepy stache but overall that’s the Greg Maddux you remember:
Now I want you to fast forward 12 months. It’s winter 2005 and Greg Maddux has now won his 15th Gold Glove, the lone bright spot in a 79-83 club. It’s a huge moment for everyone most notably the engraving guy for Rawlings who gets his 14th crack at Greg Maddux’s mug.

Whoever is responsible at Rawlings DM me your beef on Maddux. My guess is he pee’d on you in the shower at some point or hustled your ass off a golf course. Either way nothing deserves whatever it is transpired on the Gold Glove engraving team to let this happen and I vow* to get it corrected.
