Tom Glavine

With his stellar performance last night combined with his 6 innings of shutout pitching in the NLDS series - Tom Glavine has lowered his post-season ERA from 3.47 to 3.27. That's quite an accomplishment seeing how his 220 plus innings of post season pitching is just under his average for a full 162-game season.

I think Glavine is a lock for the Hall of Fame. No left handed pitcher with as many or more wins as Glavine has failed to be elected to the Hall. Glavine has 290 wins and next year should top 300. No retired pitcher with 300 wins has been denied entrance to Cooperstown.

Glavine's 15 post season wins also ties him with John Smoltz for the most in baseball history.

Tom Glavine will be enshrined in Cooperstown five years after he retires. You can take that to the bank.
