The Braves have shut down Tom Glavine for the year, and he may need major elbow surgery. It is looking more and more likely that we have seen the last pitch that Glavine will throw in his career. Even without the elbow injury, it wasn't like he was playing well (2-4 with a 5.54 ERA), and he is 42 years old. No matter what happens I have nothing but respect for this guy, because it was never like he had unhittable stuff, he was just a true pitcher that had to hit his spots (much like former teammate Greg Maddux). Glavine is a first ballot Hall of Famer with his 305 victories, and was part of the "chicks dig the long ball commercial".
