From ESPN.com is this story about a fun little Greg Maddux experiment that took place last fall: does Maddux pitch so much like clockwork that a person could catch him with his eyes closed?
The answer?
You'll have to read the story to find out.
But here are some choice quotes:

I wonder what it would take
to get him for our pitching coach after he retires?
Thanks for the article, great read. It still brings a tear to my eye that Maddux could not have had a longer career with the Cubs.

Maddux would never coach.
It would get in the way of golf.

Even better
the article states that Maddux called all of Brad Penny's pitches in his 9-13-06 game against the Cubs, leading to 7 scoreless innings.
