Last Season (98)

Tom Glavine won his SECOND Cy Young Award! He got a total of 99 points, ahead of Hoffman by 10. It was a very close race, but close, or landslide, Tom Glavine won what he deserved. He also got married to his new wife Krissy a couple days before the award was given to him.

Glavine ended the season 20-6 as the only NL 20 game winner. He had an ERA of 2.47, which was tied for the third lowest. He had a good post-season, with a 1.38 ERA, but he didn't get any wins, but that is alfully hard to do when you get 0 runs of support. He helped himself extremely well with the bat this year too, by winning the Silver Slugger award. Overall he had a great all around year, maybe this year he can win the Gold Glove award.

Glavine was on the front cover of November's ChopTalk. It said, in ChopTalk, that Glavine is selling his own marinara sauce that will be sold in Kroger's in the Southeast.
