John Smoltz, Baseball Hall of Famer and Lead Analyst for Fox Sports’ baseball coverage joins us on Sports Business Radio. Smoltz was a Cy Young Award winner and 8-time MLB All-Star during his 21-year MLB career. He led the Atlanta Braves to 14 consecutive division titles and 5 World Series appearances, winning the championship in 1995. He is the only pitcher in MLB history with 200 wins and 150 career saves.
Smoltz discusses being raised by parents who played the accordion at an elite level, where his passion for the game of baseball developed, why it is so important for young athletes to play multiple sports instead of specializing in a sport, the importance of being mentally tough as well as focused, his close friendship with fellow Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame pitchers Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine, his love for the game of golf and why qualifying for the U.S. Senior Open was one of the highlights of his athletic career, his work with Fox Sports including his terrific rapport with his FS1 teammate Joe Buck, his reasons for not being on social media and his favorite baseball movies.
You’ll learn a lot by listening to this conversation with one of baseball’s all-time greats and a person who has been highly successful with anything he has ever put his mind to.
