I thought it was a nice article, too. Written within that 1979 Triple Crown year, for perspective.
Good question on
Michael Smith I didn't catch the possibility in my prior reads.
FWIW, present day jockey Mike Smith lists 1965 as his birth year on his website.
http://www.mikesmith-jockey.com/all-about-mike.shtml Unless he was also once a Latin American baseball prospect, I'm guessing it's a different Michael Smith.
Good thought, just the same.
