Yahoo! News - Greg Maddux Joins 300-Victory Club
SAN FRANCISCO - Greg Maddux has always been a man of little fanfare, so that's exactly how he handled his 300th win — with a quiet step into history. Maddux calmly overcame a shaky start to become the 22nd major league pitcher to reach 300 victories, leading the Chicago Cubs over the San Francisco Giants 8-4 on Saturday.

Maddux never returned to the field after the final out was made. Fans hollered as he worked his way down the hallway to a postgame interview, and Maddux practically pursed his lips to keep from reacting. It took a near mugging by a bunch of teammates at his locker to finally make him smile.

"It's pretty special," he said. "I like to look ahead. I've never really looked back. When I'm done playing I'll look back. I'm sure I'll pat myself on the back then."

He also credited his teammates and didn't feel it was right to hold a celebration in "somebody else's ballpark".

In this day and age of ego, Greg is a special, special man- maybe the last of his kind. Congratulations Greg, and may there be many more to come.
