I Guess the Shoulder is OK.

John Smoltz's reputation proceeds him. And, as it turns out, it might not be an exaggeration.

On January 25, Smoltz (and teammate Julius Erving) won Michael Jordan's Celebrity Invitational golf tournament. This is the second time that Smoltz was part of the winning team at the event--he tied for first place in 2004 when he was partnered with Angie Everhart. He tied for second place last year. As his prize he received $20,000 which he donated to the Kings Ridge Christian School in Alphretta, GA. I suspect that the school was the one he mentioned having built when he discussed his love of Atlanta. Overall, the event raised $150,000 for charity.

Whoever put the team of Johnny Damon and Roger Clemens together must have a cruel sense of humor.
