Counterpoint: Maddux bests the rest as a model of consistency

|

For almost 20 years, Greg Maddux has been one of greatest ballplayers, period. Since he is a pitcher, Maddux only plays once every four or five games, so he cannot change his team's fortune on a day-to-day basis, but when his day comes, you know what to expect: a quality start. Our generation has seen plenty of Hall of Fame caliber pitchers -- Randy Johnson, Roger Clemens and Pedro Martinez to name a few -- but Maddux's consistency is what makes him the best of our time: Last year, Maddux became the first ballplayer to win 15 games in 16 consective season. From 1992 to 1998, Maddux had seven consecutive seasons with an ERA below 2.75 -- an amazing accomplishment in the home run era. Maddux consistently surrenders the fewest walks among Major League starters.
