Braves Hall of Famer, John Smoltz Surprises AT&T Store Customers

By Rick Limpert @RickRoswell · On November 23, 2015

Ex-Braves superstar pitcher and new Baseball Hall of Fame inductee, John Smoltz put on the AT&T golf shirt and khaki pants last Friday as he took a job as “AT&T Manager for the Day.”

No, Smoltz is now leaving his new career as TV baseball analyst behind to sell smartphones, tablets and data plans, but he did surprise and talk to lucky AT&T customers on Friday, Nov. 20th, from 12pm – 3pm.

This was AT&T and their AT&T Digital Life platform hosting a “Surprise and Delight” event, featuring Smoltz as the “manager” that would get called in to talk about AT&T Digital Life. Digital Life gives homeowners ultimate security and control. With easy to use features, customers can control their home from almost anywhere using a smartphone, tablet or computer. One app controls the security system, lights, door locks, cameras and more. It’s a high tech platform that anyone can use and get used to in their home.

During the three or so hours, Smoltz interacted with customers, some that recognized the Braves legend, and some that didn’t. Being the great guy and good sport Smoltz is, a great time was had by all. The one-on-one interactions were all caught on camera and will air at a later date.

AT&T Digital Life is an all-digital, wireless home management system. With 24/7 professional monitoring, an easy app to help manage your home remotely, programs to simplify daily routines and text and email notifications, Digital Life gives its customers flexibility to manage their home from almost anywhere.
