I do love baseball and I am so excited. Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz joined a very special club: 3,000 strikeouts. Smoltz is only the 16th player in MLB history to reach this historic mark.
Smoltz only needed 4 strikeouts for admission into this exclusive club, but ended up having 10 in the seven innings pitched. Although the Braves lost, Smoltz dominated the mound and was throwing as good as ever.
My baseball-loving dad said it almost brought a tear to his eye. Check out this video of a few old strikeouts and #3,000. See if you sniffle.
