KANNAPOLIS, N.C. — The song to introduce Justin Smoak's at-bats with South Carolina is the theme from the Dukes of Hazzard, with Waylon Jennings growling about a "good ol' boy, never meanin' no harm."
Well, the Gamecocks' country boy from Goose Creek is morphing into a literal globetrotter this summer.
Before Tuesday, the 20-year-old had never left the country. By the middle of August, Smoak will have been to South America and Europe.

That's pretty funny......Dukes of Hazzard was one of my favorite shows when I was a little boy.
That jingle "just a good ole boys" will be ringing in my head for the next couple of days..........along with the image of them Daisy Dukes!!:lol:
Seriously........good to hear that about Smoak!!

"He's able to do things time after time. He puts up numbers. He's very special. If he stays healthy, he's got a good chance to make a living playing the game."
Smoak's ability to adjust to whatever comes his way is what has made him successful thus far, Tanner said. And it's what very well might make him a professional mainstay in the near future.

Yep, we better enjoy him next year, because I believe he'll be in the top 5 in the next draft.

It's looking like he'll be number 2 in the draft next year with Pedro Alverez as the number 1 draft pick. I got to see them both play this summer for Team USA...even got a ball signed by them both. SWEET!! Yeah, I'm looking forward to watching his last season at Carolina.

His freshman year he came out to "Thank God I'm a Country Boy." I love his taste in music!
