Happy Birthday John Smotlz

There are two things in my life that makes me feel old. The first one is my daughter, to have a 7 year old means I need to be at least a certain age. The other thing is the age of baseball players. Most of the players I've been a fan of have always been older than I am but when they hit milestone ages it really shows how long you've been watching them as well. I guess watching a group of people play ball 80 to 100 times a year, every year, means you identify on some level with them, as pathetic as that sounds. Anyway happy 40th John Smoltz.
