  • A Few Videos

    So, I was planning on posting this lengthy video interview with Smoltz and Francoeur before I heard about Smoltz’s divorce last night, but it’s kind of interesting to look at it now in light of that. The interview was done at a Baptist church in Augusta back in November. It’s about forty-five minutes long and […]

    Holy crap! Totally not a Braves couple I ever expected to divorce. I wonder what happened?
