Props to John Smoltz 3,000 Strikeouts

I've always been a Braves fans since the early 90's.I used to go to a game every summer, when the Tomahawk chomp was done by everyone in the stadium and when they had Deion Sanders, David Justice, Tom Glavine, and of course John Smoltz.


Congrats to John Smoltz he became the 16th pitcher in major league history to reach 3,000 strikeouts when the Atlanta Braves' right-hander struck out Washington's Felipe Lopez in the third inning.

Smoltz, 40, received a standing ovation after Lopez swung and missed on a 2-2 pitch for the second out of the third inning.

Among the 15 pitchers ahead of him on the 3,000 strikeout list, Smoltz reached the mark faster than all but Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Nolan Ryan, Curt Schilling and Roger Clemens.
