I wonder if Maddux will enter the coaching fraternity. On one hand it is obvious that the guy wants to be around his family(wanted to play on the West Coast to be near his Vegas home) so when he's done with his fantastic career he would probably just retire and spend time with the kids. On the other hand, he definitely has a passion for the game and is obviously still a student of the game. |
I think you're right about spending time away from the game. But after, say, two or three years pass by I'm sure FOX or some other channel will come knocking for him as a commentator.
But his pitching genius is so superior (IMO) than any pitcher I've seen in my days (goes back to the late seventies) that he's just BOUND to become a pitching coach, or perhaps working in the front office of a team. Though....those jobs seem so rinky-dink for a pitcher of his legend.
God, how I miss those days when he was with the Braves and he'd pitch eight innings or a complete game with right around 90 pitches and no walks. He's the only pitcher I ever truly relished watching work.
