Greg Maddux was a very good pitcher for a very long time, and while he was not using his pinpoint control to dominate batters, he was busy developing a reputation as one of baseball’s biggest, and grossest, pranksters.

Previous stories from teammates have revealed his love of spitting tobacco in other people’s rental cars, relieving himself on rookies while in the shower and other horrific acts from the seemingly unassuming pitcher.

Now Tom Glavine has revealed an especially vile prank favored by the Hall of Famer that almost seems too gross to be true.

Tom Glavine just told us Greg Maddux used to take shirts out of teammates lockers, wipe his rear end with them, & put back in their locker.
