3,000

It’s not pink, and it’s not wedding, but it’s a HUGE moment.

John Smoltz accomplished a feat at 7:42 ET tonight that only 15 men before him have done – he struck out his 3,000th batter.  All of the strikeouts came while in an Atlanta Braves uniform.  That’s special, people.

He’s my hero.  :)

we heart your comments!
  1. OK, is there anything better in this world than a girl who can blog passionately and intelligently about weddings AND sports? Welcome to the 21st century. Your great grandmother would be proud!
    Love it and thanks for the smile! :)

  2. John Smoltz is one of my all-time favorite pitchers. And I’m a Mets fan!

    I respect him so much for sticking with the team even when they demoted him to the bullpen. And now he’s back as a starter and giving the Mets a hard time. ;)

    You’re silly! But I must admit, I feel the same way about a Carolina Panther when/if they do something great! – ha!
