Well, he tried

Smoltz U.S. Open bid falls short

I had no idea he was even trying out until I saw the video footage on the local news this morning. Has he *officially* retired from baseball yet? What's next, trying out for the NBA? ;)

Kidding, Smoltzie. We all know a regular retirement wouldn't suit you. Have fun on TV, work on your game, try out for the Senior PGA Tour in a few years. :)
