Maddox joined the Philadelphia Phillies in 1975 after beginning his Major League career with the San Francisco Giants.

His defensive reputation inspired one of the eras memorable baseball sayings: Two-thirds of the Earth is covered by water, the other one-third is covered by Garry Maddox.

Maddox was an important part of the Phillies clubs that won three consecutive National League East titles from 1976 through 1978, and he played a particularly memorable role during Philadelphias 1980 championship run.

Over a 15-year Major League career with the Giants and Phillies, Maddox collected 1,802 hits, 337 doubles and 248 stolen bases while building his reputation as an elite defensive center fielder.
