Hall of Famer Tom Glavine is recognized as one of the greatest pitchers of all time and a centerpiece of those great Atlanta Braves teams of the 1990s. He was the MVP of the 1995 World Series when the Atlanta Braves won their only championship. It makes people forget that in Glavine’s first full season, he looked like anything but a star. You could argue he started the same way as Chicago White Sox pitcher, Dylan Cease.
After going 2-4 in 9 games during the 1987 season with a 5.54 ERA, Glavine spent his first full season in 1988 getting hit around a bit.
