Maddux to retire?

[GiantsFanatic]

The four-time Cy Young winner will announce his retirement Monday at the baseball winter meetings in Las Vegas.
Maddux turns 43 in April. He is eighth on the career wins list with 355, and went 8-13 last season with the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers.

The announcement about his retirement came Friday from the office of his agent, Scott Boras

This is surprising to see, he was not the pitcher like he once was, but he still got the job done, so I thought he could have pitched another year or two with a contender, or maybe back with ATL?

I hope Glavine and Smoltz hang it up too so the three can go in the Hall together. I would stop everything I was doing at the time and go to Cooperstown to see the induction! What a spectacle that would be.

I trust that Maddux won't fake his retirement like Roger Clemens, Brett Favre, and Junior Seau have all done.
