Glavine Reaches 300 Wins
By Justin Mairs, TheSportsStand.com
Glavine is one of the 23 pitchers to get 300 wins in MLB
and make it to the Hall of Fame. He has had 58 out of 300 wins with the New
York Mets. Glavine's
come a long way. Some may say that he is lucky. Maybe he is, but
he's a high quality left-handed pitcher. On Sunday, August
10th, Glavine was awarded with many meaning full gifts. Hockey Hall of
Famer Rod Gilbert presented Glavine two commemorative hockey jerseys, also
while the team gave him a board decorated with 300 golf balls. Tom Glavine
was also given two Sea-Doo jet skis on behalf of the team, while
Lincoln-Mercury presented Glavine with the keys to a brand new Lincoln MKX
luxury SUV. Lastly, one gift Glavine was given that tops all, was the key
to the city
As many do not know, before Glavine was a major league baseball player,
he was playing hockey. Tom Glavine is a very all rounded athlete. He was
drafted in the fourth round by the NHL’s L.A. Kings the same week in the
second round by the Braves, but we all know which one he chose. After the
Braves offered Tom $80,000, he hung up his skates and went to pitching on
the mound. Therefore, Tom Glavine has gone down in Hall Of Fame as a 300th
win, left hand pitcher in MLB. Will he be the last?
