John Smoltz, the Atlanta Braves' former ace pitcher and a current TV analyst for the team is following through in pursuit of a dream to play professional golf.Major media reports say that Smoltz will enter the qualifying event for the U.S. Open (June 17-20 at Pebble Beach) with a May 10 round at the Marietta Country Club (in Kennesaw??)
A USAToday report portrayed Smoltz as someone who didn't want to state publicly that he takes his chances seriously.
Would you agree that this escapade reminds us of Michael Jordan's flame-out attempt at playing Major League Baseball? And be advised: this may be a reality show in the making. Word is that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is making a qualifying attempt as well. Can Jerry Rice, the Hall of Fame receiver who lingered around the NFL a tad too long, be far behind?
