This is from Greg Maddux' bio at Wikipedia:
>Early in the 2000 season, Maddux was asked by sportswriter Bob Nightengale what had been the most memorable at-bat of his pitching career. Maddux said it was striking out Dave Martinez to end a regular season game. Nightengale was surprised Maddux hadn't picked a postseason game, or a more famous player. Maddux explained:

"I remember that one because he got a hit off me in the same situation (full count, bases loaded, two out in the 9th inning) seven years earlier. I told myself if I ever got in the same situation again, I'll pitch him differently. It took me seven years, but I got him."[6] <

I've been over at baseball-reference.com trying to figure when the two games in question took place...anyone have a clue?

PS-the original article has Maddux being interviewed in '04...and Martinez retired in '01...the former was probably with the Cubs, while the latter game when Maddux was with the Braves...
