Stories like this never make it any of those Hall of Fame retrospectives lol.

“Maddux would come in after playing golf, didn’t shower after playing,” Jones said on the Dale Jr. Download podcast. “His locker was right next to the sanitary sock bin, the white sox that we wore underneath our stirrups. He would drop trou, take a sanitary sock, (wipe himself), and put it back in the sanitary sock bin. He would sit there and wait for guys to come in and pick up their socks.
“I’m sorry if this is totally gross. One time, it was me. I pulled the sock on and I got this giant bacon strip up my shin. Now, it takes a sick human being to do that, but that’s Greg Maddux. He’s the grossest human being that I’ve ever met in my life.”

That’s great timing. Anything less than a 6-3 trip and no need to add at the deadline, IMO. #done

Send him back down if this week goes poorly for the team. This is the postseason, put the best players in the org out there.

 

[TBrown]

It’s not like you’re going to shake his confidence

 

[AV_12]

Lol he been down for like a week. But ok

 

[AV_12]

Reminds of those 6 innings Newk had y’all were victory lapping lmao

 

[AV_12]

Willy couldn’t hit a ML curveball if he knew it was coming

Yes, Vogt and Kevan Smith are awesome!

 

[TBrown]

Kevan with an ‘a’

What a joke

 

[TBrown]

You know who else can’t hit a major league curveball? Shea Langeliers. That’s why he’s in AA despite being older. Sad!

I heard his teammates wanted to call him gramps but didn’t want to offend Trey Harris

Or because they wouldn’t send Willy back to AA but ok bro

I think he’s on pace to be the best player in AAA history. Why would he go to AA?

 

[LotteryPick]

Imagine not being pro Willy AND Shea

[AV_12]

Imagine waking up on a Thursday in the dog days of summer and not supporting every single player inside this organization. What great bitterness must reside within you? It’s not the players fault that those charged with decision making leave quite a bit to be desired.
