Glavine, Maddux and Smoltz share Braves stories

Hall of Famers Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux were joined by former Atlanta Braves teammate John Smoltz for an hour-long interview with ESPN radio host Dan LeBatard.

The three Braves share stories about their time in Atlanta and the bond they shared as teammates. They all give reverence to former manager Bobby Cox, who also will be inducted Sunday into Coooperstown.

In the audio (from 104.3-The Ticket), we learn that Maddux is REALLY afraid of snakes and that he's a real prankster; we learn the reason why Smoltz wasn't part of the "Chicks Dig the Longball" commercials - No Cy Young, No Nike; and we learn what the three learned from each other on and off the mound.

Put on the headphones. As LeBatard reminds you repeatedly ... it was quite a "get" to have all three together for one very entertaining conversation.
