Starting And Closing
$17.99Add to cartJohn Smoltz was one of the greatest Major League pitchers of the late twentieth/early twenty-first century-one of only two in baseball history ever to achieve twenty wins and fifty saves in single seasons-and now he shares the candid, no-holds-barred story of his life, his career, and the game he loves in Starting and Closing.
