In light of his recent induction to the Hall of Fame, here is Greg Maddux’ 1994 APBA card.
In 1994, Maddux went 16-6 which would be great in any year but that was the strike-shortened season and his Braves had only played 114 games as a team that year. Maddux’ other stats were equally awesome. He had a miniscule 1.56 ERA and allowed only 31 walks in 202 innings, three of which were intentional. Maddux, never really known as a real power pitcher, even struck out 156 batters in 1994.
Maddux received a Grade A&C XZ and not a bad hitting card for his .222 average. He’s even rated Fast. Those who have gotten the reprint… did he get a ZZ?

In the Illowa APBA League, we have Cooperstown beat. We inducted Maddux into our Hall of Fame in 2011. There was really no doubt my mind. With six 20-win seasons and six IAL Cy Young awards, Maddux was a mainstay for Tedd Mallasch’s Chicago Champions. In 22 seasons, he helped the Champs to four first place finishes and five World Series wins.
At 354-232 with a 3.59 ERA, his overall stats in the IAL are pretty awesome. For a while, it seemed to be a one-two race between Maddux and Roger Clemens in a lot of the major categories. Clemens still won out in strikeouts but Maddux leads the IAL all-time in wins (354), games started (749), complete games (193), shutouts (63), and innings pitched (5086 1/3). He ranks second in strikeouts (3925) behind Clemens.
thanks to Pastor Rich for the card suggestion!
In TBL, Greg Maddux went 403-185, 3.30 over his 18 seasons, with 212 complete games and 3706 strikeouts. He is the alltime leader in wins, innings, starts and complete games. He was elected to our hall of fame in 2011.
Yes, the reprinted Maddux is rated ZZ.
I just received the 1994 season yesterday.
Maddux has a ZZ. But I do have a question (it’s been a number of years since I last ordered a season) … Maddux has some sort of rating “(30)”. I see others with “26”, “28”. These are not master game pitchers ratings. What are these ratings.
Thanks in advance.
