How in the world does a 5"10', 180 pound guy, with a fastball that couldn't break a pane of glass, dominate the numerous enhanced sluggers of the 1990's era?

Apparently, it isn't that hard, as long as you have a baseball-savant mind, pinpoint fastball command, and a filthy two-seamer, that dances outside of the strike zone and at the last milli-second, it paints the black. All you need is those three things, and you too can beat the best hitters on the planet. You can be the Mad Dog.

This week, at BKP, we take a look uner the hood, at the career, and life, of the great Greg Maddux, who is celebrating his 57th birthday on Friday.
