Smoltz's 'Twitter takeover': Cracking on Tiger, Avery and blushing tomatoes
Former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz answered your questions on Wednesday during a "Twitter takeover'' from @SportSouth. Here's a sampling of the back-and-forth:
<@A_LAM29 - Tony Gwynn struck out once in 64 at-bats against you. Toughest guy you ever faced? @sportsouth #FSchat
Tony was one of the toughest, yes. -js #FSChat
<@car724 - What would you do if a leprechaun ran across the field during a game? #FSChat
I'd feel lucky #FSChat
<@TarheelBlues75 - would you rather have 1 more year in the big leagues or Tom Glavin's hair? #FSChat
one more year in the big leagues, b/c I can buy Tom Glavine's hair #FSChat
<@roll_tide_2012 - Can you still pitch cause the Braves need you right now! #FSChat
I couldn't still pitch. I haven't thrown a ball since my last game. -js #FSChat
<@mtharrison984 -Heard that you used to pitch to Tiger, did he ever take you yard? #FSChat
Tiger claims he got an infield single but he called that one himself. -js #FSChat
<@SpamGoddess - Chances of us seeing you on Twitter with your own account? PS. You're my favorite Brave of all time!
That would be the same chances as me having a full head of hair, and THX #FSChat
<@cewilli23 - were there any hitters you enjoyed matching up with cuz they were a good challenge? #FSchat.
I didn't always do well but I enjoyed facing Barry Bonds #FSChat
<@ucantcme4214 - who's your favorite NFL team? #FSChat
The Detroit Lions, met Matthew Stafford and thanked him for taking them to the playoffs, future looks bright #FSChat
<@trent_91920110 Why did the rooster not cross the road? Because he was a chicken, #FSChat #Icantellbadjokestoo
Why did the tomato blush? Saw the salad dressing. #FSChat
<@elliemama my daughter Caroline hit her one and only home run the other day. How about a shout out? #FSChat #senior
Tell her it won't be her last and way to go! #FSChat
<@jbrundage - Smoltz, after a homerun did you ever taunt or crack jokes to the other team while rounding the bases #fschat
No, but thought I hit one vs Avery and started laughing when ball hit top of wall and I was standing on 2nd base #FSChat
<@mtharrison984 - John, Mad Dog was a pretty serious guy but what is your funniest memory/story about him? #FSChat
Well Mad dog is afraid of snakes. That's a bit of info on him. -js #FSChat
Even though I don't tweet, thanks for all the responses & my one and only experience on twitter was a fun one! Thanks everyone! Bye! #FSChat
