Where did Greg Maddux get his beautiful pitching form?---Check out this bb card

Could it have been from Chuck Rainey-RHP for the Chicago Cubs as this 1984 Topps card (in pretty good condition, too, I might add) suggests???????image

The resemblance is mighty shocking, and he was playing for the Cubs as well. I wonder if he stayed with the Cubs 'til Maddux showed? I will post a pick of Maddux if I can find one. Geez, he even has the mustache thing going on like Maddux wore in his earlier days.

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    I wonder if Rainey has gotten as fat as Maddux has since he retired?
