I wonder what it would take

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.
