Good profile. Im just a bit worried now, I mean tommy only threw for five inning the other night. His pitch count was in the high 30’s late in the second and with the way our infield has been playing he gonna miss out on easy ground outs. I think that kelly johnson error resulted in like ten more pitches and at tommy’s age you cant have that. He is supposed to chew up inning for us I hope he pitches more than 5 or 6 a game cause our bullpen cant handle that.

It’s funny seeing that 1987 Donruss rookie card of Tommy posted here. I have that very card and got it autographed when I was 7 years old.

TG was an entirely unknown Braves pitcher at the time and wasn’t getting targeted for signatures at all when my dad and I approached him at a game at Fulton County Stadium.

I laugh because I didn’t realize the taboo of having rookie card signed but also because to this day I really don’t care…I’ll never sell it for anything.

You can barely make out the signature since we didn’t have the foresight to bring a marker and made do with a red pen.

But it’s neat to think about the chance I had one day as a kid 21 years ago to walk right up to him and ask for a quick signature thinking to myself “Tommy Who?”.

It was a time well before we Braves fans knew what we had in store. In the years to come we would have an exciting, lengthy, brilliant, sometimes tenuous, always interesting, profound relationship with The Tom Glavine.

It still brings tears to my eyes to have him back in a Braves uniform.

Personally, I’m very glad to see Tommy back in Atlanta and (no longer) have any hard feelings about his transgression to the Mets. At the time he went, I don’t know if I could say the same.

Either way however, I look forward to watching him work to finish out his career in Atlanta….back where he belongs.
