Autographed Tom Glavine Rawlings Official Major League Baseball — JSA COA — Concord, Massachusetts — Atlanta Braves — New York Mets — 305 Career Wins — Two-Time Cy Young Award Winner — 1995 World Series MVP — Hall of Fame 2014 — James Spence Authentication

⚾ There is a specific craft to left-handed pitching that the hardest-throwing pitchers in the history of the sport cannot match — the ability to change speeds, to move the ball through the strike zone on multiple planes, to locate pitches to spots that hitters have been trained to attack and then pull the pitch away at the last possible moment, forcing weak contact, chases outside the zone, and the kind of at-bat control that makes a pitcher more effective in the ninth inning of his start than he was in the first because the hitter has been systematically conditioned to the rhythm he has established. Tom Glavine was the greatest practitioner of this specific art in his era of the game — a left-handed craftsman who won 305 major league games across a twenty-two-year career and joined the most exclusive fraternity in professional sports: pitchers with 300 wins and a Hall of Fame plaque in Cooperstown. This signed Rawlings Official Major League Baseball, authenticated by James Spence Authentication with full certificate of authenticity, carries Tom Glavine's signature on the official ball of the game he mastered — for the collector who understands that 305 wins with a Cy Young, a World Series MVP, and a Hall of Fame induction represents a career with very few equals in the modern era. Condition: NOS.

🌟 Concord, Massachusetts — The Beginning of a Hall of Fame Story

🌟 Tom Glavine was born on March 25, 1966, in Concord, Massachusetts — a New England town of historical significance that in 1966 added a future Hall of Fame pitcher to its roster of notable residents. He grew up in nearby Billerica, Massachusetts, developing both a baseball career and a hockey career that placed him at the genuine intersection of two professional paths: drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the second round of the 1984 MLB Draft, he was simultaneously selected by the Los Angeles Kings in the NHL Draft, as a left-handed forward whose hockey skills were evaluated as legitimately professional-caliber. Condition: NOS.

Baseball was his choice, and the Braves were his path — a decision that resulted in one of the longest and most decorated pitching careers of the modern era, built not on a triple-digit fastball but on the kind of location, sequencing, and speed differential mastery that the craft of pitching, stripped of its power dimension, actually demands at its purest level. Glavine chose to be a pitcher rather than a thrower, and the Hall of Fame is the result. Condition: NOS.

🏆 The Atlanta Braves Dynasty — A Historic Pitching Staff

🏆 Tom Glavine's arrival in Atlanta and his development through the late 1980s coincided with the construction of what became, in the 1990s, the most celebrated pitching staff in the history of the National League — perhaps in the history of modern baseball. The rotation that placed Glavine alongside Greg Maddux and John Smoltz produced a fourteen-consecutive-division-title run from 1991 through 2005 (excluding the 1994 strike season) that no franchise in the modern divisional era has approached. Condition: NOS.

Maddux was precision itself — a right-hander whose command of all four quadrants of the strike zone and whose understanding of every individual hitter's tendencies produced a career that many analysts consider the greatest pitching career of the modern era. Smoltz was the power arm — a pitcher who could dominate with velocity and breaking stuff and who eventually converted to closing before returning to the rotation. And Glavine was the craftsman — the left-hander who held lineups to one run, to two runs, to three runs, across 240 innings a season, inning after inning, start after start, changing speeds and moving the ball and never giving the lineup a fastball when a changeup would produce a weaker result. Condition: NOS.

Together they produced the most consistent pitching staff success in the era of the four-man and five-man rotation, with fourteen division titles as the evidence. And in 1995, when the Atlanta Braves won the only World Series championship of that entire remarkable run — beating the Cleveland Indians in six games — it was Tom Glavine who started Game 6, pitched eight innings of one-run ball, and was named the World Series Most Valuable Player for a performance that distilled his career into a single October evening. Condition: NOS.

305 Wins — Two Cy Young Awards

⭐ Tom Glavine's two Cy Young Awards — the 1991 National League Cy Young and the 1998 National League Cy Young — bookend a career stretch of pitching excellence that produced consistent 20-win seasons, ERA performances that placed him among the best pitchers in the league in virtually every full healthy season, and the kind of sustained durability that 305 career wins requires. The 300-win threshold is one of the most significant milestones in professional baseball history — a number that has traditionally been viewed as the definitive career length and consistency marker for Hall of Fame consideration, and one that fewer than thirty pitchers in the history of the major leagues have achieved. Condition: NOS.

Glavine reached 300 wins on August 5, 2007, pitching for the New York Mets at Wrigley Field — a moment that confirmed his place among the most elite starting pitchers in the history of the sport and set his Hall of Fame trajectory. He finished his career with 305 victories, leaving the game having met the highest standard of career achievement that starting pitching defines. Condition: NOS.

🌟 Hall of Fame 2014 — The Ultimate Recognition

🌟 Tom Glavine was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, in August 2014 — alongside Greg Maddux and Frank Thomas in a class that represented some of the most complete baseball careers of the modern era. His plaque in Cooperstown commemorates a career that spanned twenty-two seasons, two Cy Young Awards, 305 victories, 10 All-Star selections, a World Series championship, and the World Series Most Valuable Player honor that came with leading the Braves to their only title in the modern era. Condition: NOS.

🏅 The Rawlings ROML Baseball — The Official Ball

🏅 The Rawlings Official Major League Baseball is the specific ball that every major league game is played with — the same specifications, the same leather, the same construction as every ball thrown in a regular season or postseason game. A Hall of Famer's signature on the official ball of the sport carries a symbolic weight that a generic baseball cannot replicate — the convergence of the sport's most honored standard with the legacy of a pitcher who spent twenty-two years competing with and against that ball at the highest level. The JSA holographic sticker and certificate confirm that Glavine's signature is genuine. Condition: NOS.
