Yes he's a really good player, and he's tough and he's lasted a long time. Very consistant, but has he been dominant? Unhittable? Smoltz HOF yes, Maddux HOF yes, Glavine? He's 1 win away from 300 wins, the benchmark for pitchers. Retire his number definatley, but hall of fame I'd vote no.

Glavine will be in. Every pitcher with 300 wins is in and Glavine will be there as soon as tonight. He did win 2 Cy Young's also. (Although in '98 Hoffman should have won. 7 writers did not even vote for Hoffman because he is a reliever.)
Don Sutton is in the Hall and no one would consider him a dominant pitcher either. Smoltz and Maddux were more dominant at times, but Glavine has been very consistant throughout his career.

How the heck can you vote no on Glavine for the Hall of Fame? There are only a few starters that one can call a lock: Clemens, Maddux, and Glavine.
Glavine has 2 Cy Youngs, led the NL in wins in 4 seasons, he has over 2500 K's and a career ERA of under 3.50. If he throws out his arm in tonights game, doesn't get the win and can never pitch again, he WILL get into the hall.
But, more than likely he will get win 300 before he's retired. I would be incredibly shocked if he is not a first ballot hall of famer, because there are only 2, pitchers or hitters that deserve the Hall more than Glavine does, Maddux and Clemens.

Tom Glavine is a surefire hall of famer. He won 20 games or more in 5 seasons, has 305 wins, 2 Cy Young awards, 11 out of 12 seasons with an ERA+ of 120 or higher, 24th on the all time strikeout list. You don't have to dominate every single season in order to be a Hall of Fame pitcher. Tom Glavine was very good for his entire career and was excellent in select seasons. You do mention that he finished with an ERA below 3 only 6 times in 22 years. But he finished with an ERA of 3.5 or lower in 11 of 22 and an ERA below 4 in 15 out of 22 seasons. From 1991 to 2002, he went 209-102 with a 3.15 ERA, 18 shutouts a 1.2 WHIP and an ERA+ of 134. That's over the course of 11 years. Tom Glavine is a HOF caliber pitcher. Without even thinking about it.

Yes, I think that Tom Glavine is a Hall of Famer. 300 wins is a huge achievement for pitchers, as well as havng two Cy Young awards.

Of course he's a Hall of Famer. He's going to finish with over 300 wins. Is this a serious question?
Consistency is everything in baseball.
He has 2 Cy Youngs and 5 20 win seasons.

Glavine is a definite Hall-of-Famer, and probably will be first-ballot when that time comes.

He's a deserving Hall of Famer. Too bad he became another sellout & betrayed the fans of Atlanta by going to the Ny(I'm the new team who likes to buy a championship even though i accuse the Yankees of the same thing) Mets.
