About Maddux's single A team you didn't know
Check out this interesting footnote:

On Greg Maddux's Peoria Chiefs team

Future hall of famer Rafael Palmero was the first baseman

Hershey Hawkins former NBA shooting guard was a bench player. He earned extra income as a Chief while he played at Bradley.

and Joe Girardi was Maddux's catcher..

That is 2 future hall of famers, 1 300 game winner, 1 soon to be 500 HR hitter, an 8 year starter in the NBA, and a catcher with 3 world series rings....

General admission tickets to the game were 4 bucks, and every seat was general admission, and any of them would sign autographs anytime.

Go to the minor league games, you never know
