9. Tom Glavine

Along with Greg Maddux and John Smoltz, Tom Glavine was part of a devastating Hall of Fame trio that dominated starting pitching in the 1990s. 

It wasn’t all wine and roses for Glavine when he started, as his first few seasons were a mixed bag, but in 1991, he would break out with a league-leading 20 Wins with a 2.55 ERA and a Cy Young Award win.  Glavine would prove this wasn’t a fluke as he led the NL in Wins the next two seasons, finished second and third in Cy Young voting, and, in 1995, anchored the Braves to a World Series win, where he won the World Series MVP.  The second half of the 90s proved to be just as good as he would have two more 20 Win seasons (both league-leading), and he would win his second Cy Young in 1998 while finishing second in 2000. 

As an Atlanta Brave, Glavine won 244 Games with 2,091 Strikeouts and had eight All-Star Game appearances.  He was also a very good hitter, as shown by his multiple Silver Slugger Awards. Glavine would leave Atlanta to sign with the Mets, but he would return to Atlanta for his final season in 2008.

Glavine would enter the Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 2014, four years after his number 47 was retired by the Braves.  Atlanta would also induct Glavine into their Hall of Fame in 2010.

30. Tom Glavine

While Tom Glavine will always be best remembered for his tenure as an Atlanta Brave, the Hall of Famer still had plenty left in the tank when he arrived in New York.  Going to two All-Star Games as a Met, Glavine would win 61 Games and was a solid presence in the rotation and remained one of the better hitting Pitchers in baseball.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com thought it would be fun to take a look at the major awards in North American team sports and see how it translates into Hall of Fame potential.

Needless to say, different awards in different sports yield hall of fame potential.  In basketball, the team sport with the least amount of players on a roster, the dividend for greatness much higher.  In baseball, it is not as much as a great individual season does not have the same impact.
