what in the [expletive]? he was the best gd pitcher in the league! Greg Maddux – 1993 – NL Cy Young Maddux’s 1993 omission is similar to Roger Clemens’ in 1987, as it came because of a slow start in what was otherwise a historic stretch. After arriving in Atlanta as a free agent, Maddux started his Braves career with an unlucky 8-8 mark at the break. It all evened out eventually, with The Professor finishing with an impressive 12-2, 1.79 ERA run that made him win the second of his four consecutive Cy Youngs. He made a total of 8 All-Star games for his Hall of Fame career, which frankly is a bit low for a pitcher of his caliber.
