Greg Maddux has always been a nerd's pitcher, with his fabled studiousness, his geekish looks, and his unassuming disposition. Now he's up for win number 300, which would assure him a (well-deserved) place in the Hall.Remember, kids. Nerds rule, even in sports.
Update: He failed the first try, thanks to a jittery first inning and heat exhaustion, but the Cubs won anyway.
Update update: He's got another chance. Also, Jayson Stark shows, statistically, that Greg Maddux is one of the all-time greats.
Final update: he did it. Hall of Fame, here we come.
