“I have to admit I did give a statement on the floor the day before yesterday about another great pitcher who certainly will be a member of the Hall of Fame, Greg Maddux. In my statement, I said Greg Maddux is less than 6 feet tall, weighs maybe 10 pounds more than I do--not very big, clearly not as big as the Senator from Kentucky. The Senator from Kentucky hasn't gained much weight, if any, from the time he pitched. Greg Maddux is one of the great ones. On Sunday he won his 272nd game. He has an ERA lifetime of about 2.5. He tied Cy Young's record of winning 15 games 15 years in a row. One of the interesting things I learned was that, as a 20-year-old, when he came up to the majors, the second game he won, he pitched against his brother Mike, and beat him. Mike played for the Cincinnati Reds at the time when he beat him. I haven't switched my allegiance. I can have allegiance for more than one great baseball player.”
