Autographs of Elliott Maddox
Elliott Maddox (born December 21, 1947) is an American former Major League Baseball player. In 1968, he was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the first round (20th pick) of the draft (secondary phase). He made his MLB debut in 1970.
Maddox was born in East Orange, New Jersey and grew up in Vauxhall, New Jersey. He graduated from Union High School in Union County, New Jersey. As a senior, he was selected by the Houston Astros in the fourth round of the 1966 Major League Baseball draft, but chose to attend the University of Michigan, instead. As a sophomore in 1968, he won the Big Ten batting title with a .467 batting average. In June 1968, he was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the first round (20th pick) of the draft (secondary phase). He converted to Judaism in the 1970s. Maddox studied under a Conservative rabbi for his conversion, but later identified as a Reform Jew. He was married under a chuppah and his son had a bris.
Maddox spent just two seasons in the Tigers' farm system, never playing higher than high A ball, before making his major league debut as a 22 year old in 1970. An exceptional all around fielder, Maddox split his minor league career between the outfield and third base. Likewise, when he joined the Tigers, he served as both a fourth outfielder and third baseman Don Wert's backup. He batted .248 with three home runs and 24 runs batted in his only season in Detroit to earn "Tigers Rookie of the Year" honors from the Detroit Sports Broadcasters' Association. The day after Commissioner of Baseball Bowie Kuhn lifted former Cy Young Award winner Denny McLain's indefinite suspension from Major League Baseball, Maddox was packaged with McLain, Wert and pitcher Norm McRae, and shipped to the Washington Senators for pitchers Joe Coleman and Jim Hannan, and infielders Ed Brinkman and Aurelio Rodríguez.
