Smoltz’s jersey headed to Cooperstown

John Smoltz is in the Hall of Fame. Well, at least his jersey is.

The jersey the Braves pitcher wore when he recorded his 3,000th career strikeout this season was one of several items the Baseball Hall of Fame put on display from the 2008 season. The jersey is part of the exhibit entitled “Today’s Game.”

Other included items from this season: the spikes used by Derek Jeter when he set the record for most hits at Yankee Stadium; the spikes used by Jose Molina when he hit the last home run at Yankee Stadium: and the batting helmet Manny Ramirez wore for his 500th career home run.
