Greg Maddux Just won his 350th game. Where does he rank all time in MLB History?

The Padres, Cubs, and Braves, have had the honor to have one of the games smartest players and to their staff and have witnessed a class act!

	It really is hard to judge players against players in different eras of baseball. You just never know. I went top 10 though

	I agree it is hard to judge as well. Greg Maddux did play in an era when some batters had a lot of help from steroids, also he may be the last player to ever reach that mark.

	I'm probably giving Maddux the benefit of the doubt here, but I said Top 5. I started watching baseball in the late 60's so I've only seen baseball for about 1/3 of the time covered in "all time" Due to their shear wins and complete games, I gotta think that Cy Young, Walter Johnson and Christy Mathewson have to go 1, 2, 3. Of all the pitchers I've watched, I could only put Nolan Ryan on top of Maddux. Maddux may go down as one of the best control pitchers of all time.

	Kudos to Maddux. Couldn't happen to a classier player. Always a low key individual who does whatever he can to help his team with little regard for personal agendas. Could possibly be one of the last to achieve this milestone. Great topic for future boards....who's next to reach 350??

	I think anywhere between 5-10 is just about right. It is all subjective which makes it all the more fun to think and talk about. You could make a case either way.

	Top 5 is a good rank. He, in a time of substance abuse proved you need no edge for longevity and great performance. I am glad I got to see him play his whole career!

	I think he’s in the Top 10 best pitchers of all time, wouldn’t put him past 5 though.
