:confused: Maddux was born in San Angelo, TX, and was raised in Las Vegas, NV, where he still resides. When did he live in Finland?

Bofore he joined the Cubs. He has an older brother who also pitched for the Helsinki Pirates. I actually think he also made it to the major leagues but it is Greg who is the best Finnish pitcher ever.
 
You sound off your rocker mate. Finland indeed.

Rocker? No, I don't think John Rocker is from Finland. I'm not sure where he is from but he sounds like a redneck to me. Maddux on the other hand still has that Finnish accent even though he has lived in the US for a very long time.

April Fool's Day is 6 weeks away.

Speaking of AFD, a buddy of mine was a huge David Robinson fan back in the early 90s. On AFD, his dad had created a fake sports page for the Fort Worth Star Telegram that had a headline story of David Robinson being traded to the Mavericks for Roy Tarpley and a few other players. The kid nearly had a heart attack. And the Mavs were a decent team in the early 90s before those crap seasons in the mid 90s. One of the best AFD joke's I've ever heard.
 
Where is Rocker at these days anyway? Some Texas Rangers minor league team?
