TOM GLAVINE RUMORS & GOSSIP
Tom Glavine unsure whether he will be elected to Hall next year
Tom Glavine not in the hall? Hard to imagine. Still, the 300 game winner spoke on SiriusXM and questioned his ability to earn enshrinement while appearing on the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time.
Glavine expressed disappointment that Craig Biggio was not elected to the hall. Perhaps Glavine sees some familiarities between himself and Biggio. Both played either their entire...
BBWAA Fire Shutout
Chicks might did the long ball, but the BBWAA threw a shutout against the 37-player ballot of the 2013 MLB Hall of Fame induction class.
This is clearly an aberration due to the taint of the Steroid Era. However, the 2014 HOF class appears to be stacked with all-time great pitchers. Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and Mike Mussina lead the way with holdover candidates in Jack Morris...
Can 300 Wins Ever Be Accomplished Again by a Pitcher?
Let me thrown four names out there: Cy Young, Nolan Ryan, Greg Maddux, and Tom Glavine. What do these guys have in common? Two are Hall of Famers and two more are on their way. All were big game money pitchers. And most importantly, they are all 300 game winners.
Will we ever see another 300 game winner in baseball? Quite frankly, I don’t think we will. Now don’t get me...

Mets Baseball Card of the Day: Tom Glavine
I have found a lot of Tam Glavine cards in my collection, which is odd because I wasn’t even a big fan of his. Anyway:
The card comes from the Topps Total series, which was really budget series of cards. They covered every player in the league, sometimes two on the same card and were on a cheaper cardboard that drove the price of the card way down. I enjoy how Glavine is in a...
Game Day Pictures: Braves vs Reds 5-15-12
View from the top of 117
A Reds fan friend of mine had an extra ticket to Tuesday night's game. Did I want it? Um, yes. Luckily, a couple of Twitter friends (@ATL_Mouseketeer & @Twhyla) wanted to get there earlier than he could and watched BP with me. They loved my usher friends and we swapped entertaining stories, and they told me about their plan to get autographed baseballs...

The Perfect Way For The Mets To Stick It To The Marlins
If you’re a true Mets fan, then you know how much the Marlins have been a thorn in the team’s side since 2007. First, Tom Glavine was able to retire only one more batter than I did in the 2007 regular season finale, completing the Mets’ collapse. One year later, the Marlins wouldn’t get off the field after they once again eliminated the Mets (and Shea Stadium) in Game...
Around the Horn: Starting rotation
Two decades after the baseball world started taking notice of John Smoltz and Tom Glavine, the Braves certainly once again have reason to be excited about the kind of influence their heralded young pitching prospects might have on the club's future.
Heroes of the Postseason: Tom Glavine
Oct. 28, 1995 means only one thing to Atlanta Braves fans Game Six.
Atlantas 1-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians in Game Six of the 1995 World Series that night cemented the Braves' place as the "Team of the '90s" and Tom Glavine's as one of baseball's premier big-game pitchers.
The thing is, he didn't really want to be at Fulton County Stadium...
