Greg Maddux has an 18th Gold Glove to carry with him as he heads off into the sunset.

One day after agent Scott Boras said at the General Managers Meetings that Maddux intends to retire, the announcement came Wednesday that the 42-year-old right-hander was again front and center on the National League list of Gold Glovers in 2008. Maddux has won five Gold Gloves in a row and 18 in a 19-year span. After notching 13 straight from 1990 through 2002, Maddux saw Mike Hampton get the honor for NL pitchers in '03. Then Maddux got on another Gold Glove roll, bolstering his reputation as the best fielding pitcher of his time.
The remainder of the NL Gold Glove list includes catcher Yadier Molina of the Cardinals, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez of the Padres, second baseman Brandon Phillips of the Reds, shortstop Jimmy Rollins of the Phillies, third baseman David Wright of the Mets, outfielder Nate McLouth of the Pirates, outfielder Carlos Beltran of the Mets and outfielder Shane Victorino of the Phillies.
