Detailed description on our website.Master mound magician Greg Maddux recorded an incredible total of 355 crafty wins with a pitching repetoire that seemed to MLB hitters as though it were pulled from a bag of tricks. Maddux"s command of the strike zone and in particular his artistic ability to paint the corners, saw him finish his career as the only pitcher to rack up 300+ wins and 3,000+ strikeouts while surrendering less than 1,000 walks. From a time when Wrigley Field still didn"t have lights, comes this 9/3/86 full ticket rated (NM 7) by PSA. The youngest player in the Majors at the time of his career debut, Maddux proved mortal in the 9/3/86 finale of a suspended 9/2/86 game that saw him pinch-run in the 17th inning vs. the Astros and then give up a losing home run in the 18th inning. NOTE: The PSA flip lists the date of the Maddux"s MLB debut as "9/3/86" and the offered ticket is actually dated "9/2/86". The grading label is correct in announcing Maddux"s MLB debut as 9/3/86, as mentioned above this game began on 9/2/86 and was suspended due to darkness and then completed on 9/3/86 with Maddux seeing his first big league action on that date and any tickets issued for the Cubs 9/3/86 game are for a different game.
