Flame John Smoltz keeps ironing out the truth about urban 'legend'

John Smoltz wants to set the record straight.

The Atlanta Braves pitcher wants to clear up one of sport's sillier urban legends once and for all. He says he never burned himself by ironing a shirt while he was wearing it.

Y'know, I know that story isn't true. The one I like involves John Smiley. Once while he was pitching for the Pirates, he closed a taxi door on his hand!
