On the diamond, John Smoltz won 213 Major League games and saved 154 others and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on his first ballot.

On the links, he has impressed the very best in our game, with Tiger Woods saying that he is the best player Tiger has seen outside of the PGA TOUR. 

He's the lead analyst for Fox Sports coverage of Major League Baseball, and can he ever talk baseball and golf.

Step up to the plate, and get ready for Smoltzie, on "Musings on Golf."

He worked for two of our game's great players for five years, and Bill Pelham's wonderful read, "Burke and Demaret: The Wit and Wisdom of Golf's Most Colorful Duo," is a tribute to the men who created Champions Golf Club outside of Houston. 

Some of the stories that were legendary around the club are now told through this fun and poignant book. Pelham went on to play in five major championships and credits his time at Champions for making him the player he ultimately became. 

Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Mickey Rooney, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, and Willie Mays. They're all mentioned in the book, as are Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.

What a great read about two men who left their marks on the course -- five major championship titles between them -- and through Champions Golf Club, their legacy that continues to thrive today. 

The gold medal earned by the 1980 U.S. Olympic men's hockey team was truly the "Miracle on Ice," and at the center of it was the Captain, Mike Eruzione.

He didn't start playing golf until he was 37, and has the game ever impacted who Michael Wilbon of ESPN has met, where he has traveled, and how he lives his life.

Join Michael on a delicious, story-filled journey that includes playing golf with a U.S. President, on-course trash talking with Tony Kornheiser, his co-host on "Pardon the Interruption," and watching his son blow by the old man off the tee.
