Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Poor John Smoltz. We already have a team on the field that sucks ass and now our valet guys don't even know Hall of Famers who played 20 years in Atlanta?. I guess now that I think about it, I'm 27 and you probably need to be at least that old to really remember watching Smoltz pitch for the Braves, but I know who Hank Aaron and Phil Niekro are and I wasn't around when they were playing. This presumably 22-year-old kid living in Atlanta has never accidentally come across a John Smoltz highlight or interview?

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.
