About Tom Glavine, Hall of Famer

Tom Glavine was a left-handed pitcher who spent 22 seasons in Major League Baseball, primarily with the Atlanta Braves and later with the New York Mets. Over his career, he won 300 games, joining an exclusive group of just 24 pitchers to reach that milestone. During the 1990s, Glavine posted 164 victories, the second-most in the National League behind teammate Greg Maddux. A five-time 20-game winner and two-time Cy Young Award recipient, Glavine was named World Series MVP when the Braves defeated Cleveland in 1995. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014 on his first ballot with 91.9% of the vote.

Did you know? Glavine was drafted by the NHL's Los Angeles Kings in 1984 before being selected by the Atlanta Braves in the MLB draft that same year, choosing baseball over a potential hockey career.
