Legend has it Maddux was once asked to intentionally walk a batter by Atlanta manager Bobby Cox. "Why would I do that?" he asked before explaining he would instead throw three pitches, inducing a pop-up to the hot corner on the third one. A man of his word, he proceeded to do exactly that.
It's rare when a rookie lives up to his advance "fan fare," but that's the story of Gene in a nutshell. Last season he was the "miser" of the Braves staff giving up the fewest hits of any regular hurler. In addition he placed 2nd in E.R.A. for the Milwaukee moundsmen. Gene started in Hartford posting a 20-9 record in '51 and with Toledo in '53 he won 23.
