John Smoltz tries his hand at weather forecasting (Video)
Retired Atlanta Braves ace John Smoltz attempted a weather forecast during a recent appearance on The Weather Channel, covering the weather for some baseball cities.
Smoltz took a serious take on his weather forecast, unlike Texas Rangers pitcher Derek Holland, who goofed around while doing a local weather forecast in Texas back in December.

John Smoltz: Baseball legend, TV Analyst and attempted weather dude
Yeah, it's as goofy as you'd think that it would be.
But it is an athlete, albeit a now former one trying to do what people at the Weather Channel do for a living; forecast the weather.
Smoltz was a guest on the Your Weather Today morning show shot in the metro Atlanta area. In this video, the former ace pitcher for the Atlanta Braves and current game analyst for TBS...

Book Review: Starting and Closing
Not many players in the history of baseball had as unpredictable a career as John Smoltz. Usually a
starting pitcher stays such throughout his career, or if a player becomes a dominant closer one year, it is
impossible to change them from that role. Smoltz would be the ultimate exception to this rule. In short,
Smoltz was a pitcher, not to be defined by silly words like starter...

John Smoltz crashes a go-kart (Video)
I'll be honest, the odds that a video of former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz crashing a go-kart would exist were pretty low until the below clip came to life.
Smoltz was filming a segment for CBS new sports show called "The Players Club" and tried his hand at go-kart racing.
Then, Smoltz while attempting to make a turn crashed into the barrier of the track...

HE'S AN EXCELLENT DRIVER
Braves great John Smoltz crashes go-kart
John Smoltz is one of the greatest Braves in franchise history. The team announced the retirement of Smoltz's number this summer in a press release last month. But here's Smoltz doing something a little more out of character for him than either pitching or commentating: driving a go-kart, and taking out a huge section of wall in the process.
This occured during filming of...

John Smoltz Crashes Go-Kart During Taping of CBS TV Show 'The Players Club' (Video)
John Smoltz might be a Hall of Fame pitcher, but his skills don't apparently translate very well to go-kart racing. The former Atlanta Braves pitcher (who also had a brief stint with the Red Sox) was driving one during taping for CBS' TV show The Players Club, when he apparently lost control of the vehicle and plowed into the barrier surrounding the track. We're guessing...

#29 John Smoltz Jersey to Be Retired: A Tribute to a Future Hall of Famer
On June 8th, 2012, John Smoltz’s number 29 jersey will be retired as an Atlanta Brave. This will be the 4th in 4 seasons for the Braves. Reality is that Smoltz was one of the most underrated pitchers ever to pitch in the majors. He is not a 300 game winner (a number that every starting pitcher shoots for), but he was one of the most consistent pitchers to ever toe the rubber.Â...

Braves to retire John Smoltz's number
The Atlanta Braves have announced this morning that on June 8th, they'll be retiring the #29 worn by starter John Smoltz, and inducting him into the team's Hall of Fame.
Smoltz spent 20 seasons with the Bravse, with only his final season away from the team (which was split between the Red Sox and Cardinals in a largely disastrous run). Smoltz won the 1996 Cy Young award...
