There are many reasons to go out to the ballpark each night, like the hotdogs and beer, free stuff ranging from rally towels to bobble head dolls to Joe Mauer’s side burns, catching a foul ball or a homerun, making your way onto the scoreboard during fan scans, the atmosphere a
nd most importantly the excitement on the field. But tonight, John Smoltz is giving Atlanta area fans another reason to head to Turner Field, a chance to witness history. Smoltz stands just 4 strike outs away from becoming only the 16th major leaguer to record 3,000 strike outs. The achievement becomes even more astounding when you think he missed a year following Tommy John surgery and the fact that he spent 3 ½ years in the Braves bullpen. And if you still need another reason to go see the Braves, they’re looking to extend their win streak to six games. Have I convinced you now?
