Greg Maddux has an 18th Gold Glove to carry with him as he heads off into the sunset.

 

One day after agent Scott Boras said at the General Managers Meetings that Maddux intends to retire, the announcement came Wednesday that the 42-year-old right-hander, who finished the year with the Dodgers, was again front and center on the list of National League Gold Glove winners in 2008.

 

Maddux has won five Gold Gloves in a row, and 18 in a 19-year span. After getting 13 in a row from 1990 through 2002, Maddux saw Mike Hampton get that honor for NL pitchers in 2003. Then, Maddux got on another Gold Glove roll, bolstering his reputation as the best-fielding pitcher of his time.

 

The remainder of the NL Gold Glove list includes catcher Yadier Molina of the Cardinals, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez of the Padres, second baseman Brandon Phillips of the Reds, shortstop Jimmy Rollins of the Phillies, third baseman David Wright of the Mets, outfielder Nate McLouth of the Pirates, outfielder Carlos Beltran of the Mets and outfielder Shane Victorino of the Phillies.

 

Besides Maddux, the repeat winners were Rollins, Wright and Beltran.

I remember seeing Ken Griffey Jr. on the AL list every year, until he started getting hurt all the time. What a career it could have been. WE wouldn't even care about that guy who used roids to break the HR record, Griffey would have it. His numbers could have ranked with the all-time greats.
