My partner in crime and I attended the game last night with the hope of witnessing something historic. John Smoltz came into the game only 4 strikeouts away from 3000, something that only 15 pitchers before him have done.
The crowd was small, as is usual for a weeknight game, but the atmosphere was more electric. Everyone was on their feet for each 2 strike count, anticipating 3000. And Smoltzie didn't make us wait long for it, getting it in the 3rd inning. They shot of some fireworks and inbetween innings we got a montage of Smoltz's other milestones.
Smoltz ended up with 10K on the night, the 2nd straight outing with 10Ks. Unfortunately the offense didn't show up and Smoltz took the L on the historic night.
I took a few pictures with my phone, which unfortunately didn't have a zoom.
