Garry Maddox – Phillies/CF (1975-86) Garry Maddox was an 8-time Gold Glover and one of the game’s greatest-fielding centerfielders. Legendary voice of the Phillies, Harry Kalas nicknamed Garry Maddox the Secretary of Defense. He also said of Maddox, “Two-thirds of the Earth is covered by water, the other third is covered by Garry Maddox.” While Maddox was known for his defensive exploits, he had some success with the bat as well. Maddox drove in the winning run in the deciding game five of the NLCS in 1980 vs Houston Astros, and then caught the final out sending the Phillies to the World Series vs Kansas City Royals. In 1973, Maddox finished 3rd in hitting (.319 avg) and 2nd in triples (10). In 1976, Maddox again finished 3rd in hitting (.330 avg), and finished 3rd in doubles (37). The fleet-footed Maddox stole 20+ bases 9 consecutive seasons. Maddox won the World Series with the Phils in 1980, won the Roberto Clemente Award in 1986 and entered the Phillies Wall of Fame in 2001.
