Four-time Cy Young winner Greg Maddux confirmed today that his 355th win was his last, the Las Vegas Sun reports. “I’m 42, and I have two kids and a wife,” said the eight-time all-star, who finished his 23-year career with a stint on the Los Angeles Dodgers. "I’m getting too old, and my kids are getting too old. It’s a combination of those two.” He plans to retire publicly in Las Vegas on Monday.
