Miscellaneous

Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, and Greg Maddux.

Theses three pitchers (Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux) all love to golf. When they were at the old stadium they used drainage holes to golf which they soon grew tired of using. So during the World Series Tom Glavine asked the team president if they could have a putting green at the new clubhouse. The president said, "OK. Win it all and you get your putting green in the clubhouse." So Glavine went out pitched a great game and not only helped the team to win the World Series, but he also helped the team get their new putting green.

I'm sure all of you have heard about Mark McGwire, Ken Griffey Jr., and Sammy Sosa and their race to beat Roger Meris's homerun record, well there was also another race going on in the summer of '98, a race between Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine. What are they racing for you might ask? They are trying to see who would get the most hits this season, and here's the results...

Name	AVG	H	AB	RBI	SH
Tom Glavine	.239	17	71	7	14
Greg Maddux	.240	18	75	4	6

If you have ever wondered what the song is that is played when Tom Glavine comes up to bat, wonder no more the song is Dreams by Van Halen.
