During NESN’s SportsDesk last night, one of the newest members of the Boston Red Sox, John Smoltz, called in and talked with anchor Cole Wright.

The pair discussed his first time in Ft. Myers, the shoulder, Jason Varitek and why he chose Boston among many other things.

I’m thinking he may have already talked to Josh Beckett as we heard him say “executing pitches.”

This was a great interview in my opinion. It was nice to get some insight into John Smoltz, especially for the Red Sox fans who don’t know alot about him.
