Link to full article here: http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/sulli...14sullivan.html Excerpt below: No gas guzzler, Maddux may be Prius of pitchers UNION-TRIBUNE December 14, 2006 "Chronologically, at least, Greg Maddux is 40 years old.

It's the mileage.†If he has lost some of his fastball to the ravages of time, he has retained the fuel economy of a parked Prius. He is maximum efficiency with minimum exertion." "It's not velocity that matters, but victories. It's not the years, but the mileage." Tim Sullivan: (619) 293-1033; [email protected] After so much misinformation and Prius-bashing, its nice to see the word Prius used in a positive way.
