My Take

Bill "Mad Dog" Madlock is one of those players who never quite got the legendary status he deserved, and that genuinely bugs me. Four National League batting titles — four — and he did it as a third baseman, which is not exactly the position you associate with pure hit artists. He won in 1975 and 1976 with the Cubs, then again in 1981 and 1983 with the Pirates, which tells you this wasn't a fluke hot streak but a sustained, repeatable skill. The man flat-out knew how to put the bat on the ball. The fact that Wade Boggs eventually broke his third-baseman record in 1988 is only slightly less impressive when you remember Boggs is in the Hall of Fame — and Madlock, somehow, still isn't. If you're a serious baseball fan, Mad Dog deserves way more of your respect than he typically gets.
