Greg Maddux isn't on the on the SOI banner. How come?

[jstraw]

Just wondering...

[jeffy]

Probably because he was more of a Brave than a Cub.

[Butcher]

Because fuck Greg Maddux.

Correct (presumably - and I would agree with it, if that presumption is true).

He left the Cubs for bigger money in Atlanta.
He won 3 of his 4 Cy Youngs there.
When baseball writers discuss the "greatest seasons ever by a pitcher," inevitably, Maddux's 1994 and 1995 seasons are included in the discussion. During those years, he was wearing a Braves uniform.
Maddux won the World Series once, and thus has a "ring."
It looks like this:
1995 Braves World Series ring

'Nuff said?

I'm sold. I'm gonna start an online petition to get his number taken down at Wrigley.

And start one to get Mickey Morandini's added.

[Baron]

Because it didn't cross my mind to put him up there. I think when people think Cubs they tend to think of the 5 up there.

...and Mickey Morandini.

[dvdastud]

My one complaint about the banner is no Grace. I still think he deserves to be up there just as much as any of those great Cubs.

[Giff]

We need a new banner.

[kbwsb]

I would like to once again thank Baron for creating a kick-ass banner.
Thanks, Baron.

But all good things have to come to an end, and I wouldn't be opposed to a new banner. The old one is fine. But if Baron has a different idea, I'd be interested in hearing it.

[biggz]

The new banner should include:

Miles, Gregg, Fontenot, Cotts and Samardzija.

Not one black man listed there. Bradley will eat your brain.

[Baron]

Well the Legends clearly didn't help the mojo this year. I'm down for creating a new one, or if Butch wants to let him go ahead, but we would have to see if people want current players or Legends again. If we go current guys then its better to wait till closer to the season because we don't know who will be around (I mean hell, PCB wants to get rid of Z) and that is when the promo pics come out.

If you got an idea for something in the interim though let me know. Anything that takes me away from schoolwork is a plus [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]
