Garry Maddox from the Chronology

May 7, 1986 - Thirty-six-year-old Phillies OF Garry Maddox‚ an 8-time Gold Glove winner‚ retires. Only Roberto Clemente and Willie Mays have won more Gold Gloves in the outfield.

Oct 12, 1980 - The Phillies capture their first NL title since 1950 with a 10-inning 8-7 win over the Astros in the 5th and final game of the NLCS. Each of the last 4 games was decided in extra innings. The Phils‚ down by 3 runs to Nolan Ryan in the 8th‚ rally‚ winning on Garry Maddox's double in the 10th.

Oct 11, 1980 - In one of the most exciting and controversial games in playoff history‚ the Phillies tie the NLCS at 2 games apiece with a 10-inning 5-3 win over the Astros. In the 4th inning‚ Houston is deprived of an apparent triple play when the umpires rule that pitcher Vern Ruhle had trapped Garry Maddox's soft line drive. In the 6th‚ Houston loses a run when Gary Woods leaves the base early on Luis Pujol's would-be sacrifice ?y.

Oct 7, 1978 - The Dodgers win the NLCS 4-3 as Bill Russell's 10th-inning 2-out single scores Ron Cey. Dusty Baker collects 4 hits for Los Angeles. A walk to Cey and a routine liner that Garry Maddox muffs in CF sets up Russell's game-winner.

Jul 4, 1976 - On the nation's bicentennial anniversary‚ Philadelphia splits a doubleheader with Pittsburgh‚ 10-5 and 7-1. In the first game‚ the Phils Tim McCarver loses a grand slam when he passes teammate Garry Maddox on the bases. McCarver gets three RBI with his single.

Nov 29, 1975 - Two Orioles standouts‚ with a combined total of 24 Gold Glove Awards‚ are each honored for the last time. Brooks Robinson and Paul Blair are the two making swan songs on TSN's fielding team‚ while outfielders Garry Maddox and Fred Lynn each win the award for the first time.

Aug 5, 1975 - The first 7 Phillies hit safely-good for 15 bases-against Bill Bonham (10-8)and the Cubs‚ in setting a ML record. No pitcher has ever started a game by allowing 7 straight hits. Dave Cash leads off with a single‚ and Bowa matches it. Garry Maddox homers over the LF fence. Luzinski singles‚ and Jay Johnstone and Tommy Hutton follow with doubles to make it 5-0. Mike Schmidt then hits his 22nd homer to finally drive Bonham out of the game. His replacement‚ Ken Crosby making his ML debut‚ gives up a single to Johnny Oates for the 8th straight hit. Dick Ruthven lays down a sac bunt for the first out‚ but 3 walks‚ 2 hits and a balk make it 10-0. As historian Lyle Spatz notes‚ the Phils last scored 10 runs in a frame on August 13‚ 1948. Schmidt adds a 2nd homer to help push the final to 135.

Jun 19, 1974 - Runners are passed in 2 different games tonight‚ depriving Giant Ed Goodson of a HR in a Cardinals-Giants match‚ and creating confusion in a Pirates-Dodgers match. Goodson clocks a 3rd inning pitch from Bob Gibson‚ then passes teammate Garry Maddox between 1B and 2B. Instead of a HR‚ he gets one RBI and a single. The Giants win‚ 5-4‚ outhitting the Cards‚ 14-5. In the latter‚ Joe Ferguson apparently strikes out with the sacks full‚ and walks away‚ while Pirate C Manny Sanguillen agrees and rolls the ball to the mound. Lee Lacy‚ the LA runner on 3rd jogs to the dugout. The runner from 2B‚ Jimmy Wynn comes around but is tagged out sliding at home. Lee Lacy scurries from the dugout‚ slides home‚ and is also tagged out. Lacy‚ though tagged‚ is ruled safe according to the rules which gives him home automatically when a base on balls is called with the sacks full. The confusion is deemed moot as the Pirates prevail‚ 7-3.
