Actually, I shouldn’t imply that Maddux never does anything off the field. As I understand it, he has always been quite active with charity work – in Las Vegas. (Not so much in Atlanta.) So I don’t think he’s a bad guy.
I just think that when a city worships a sports hero (as Atlanta worshiped Maddux back in the day) it would be nice if that sports hero reciprocated in some way.

He won three Cy Youngs and a WS. What more do we need?

Really interesting that we’re three pages in and no one has even mentioned Babe Ruth. (Except in the context of him being struck out by a girl.)
Poor Babe. Taken for granted.

I was thinking the same thing myself. And even after bringing him to people’s attention, he’s apparently nobody’s favorite.
