Smoltz kicks off a round of fun discussions concerning “tipping pitches.”  A behavior that one would think a pitcher would have shed long before stepping up to the majors.  And one would be wrong…

From SportsIllustrated.com, back in 2004 Andy Pettitte was tipping like he was in a 5 Star restaurant.

Oh, and look, back in April, SportsIllustrated.com reports about a book alleging that media hero, Alex Rodriguez, was demonstrating tipping isn’t just for pitchers.
