Tom Glavine was headed toward the Hall of Fame well before he won his 300th game.
But now he officially has the number that has traditionally signified greatness for starting pitchers.
Glavine is only the 23rd man to reach the 300 milestone.
Only three left-handers have won more than Glavine, who has won two Cy Young Awards and has won 20 games in five seasons.
He has been a model of consistency and durability.
He came up with the Atlanta Braves in 1988, so he was in on the ground floor of that franchise's stunning success.
Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux were enough to scare any team in a series and were said to be the main reason the Atlanta Braves were able to win 14 consecutive NL East titles.
His command of the strike zone and ability to baffle with the change of speeds have been more than adequate substitutes for velocity.
Glavine has showed youngsters that you don't have to blow up the radar gun to have success, but hard work and dedication would do you just fine.
