Tom Glavine Guy Quotations

With three balls, Willie told me to put him on. That took care of it for me. I was intent on trying to make pitches and get back. ... Regardless of what his numbers say, he's still capable of doing a lot of things. He's the guy you don't want beating you.

The thing that stuck out about him was his energy and enthusiasm when he played. He was a fun guy to watch.

A lot of times, the guy that's out there pitching, you probably played with him somewhere already, ... Nowadays, it seems like everybody knows everybody.

It's an honor, and it's fun to be the guy who goes out there and starts Opening Day. But I think sometimes there's too much made of it.
