While I was a bit saddened by the Brave’s release of pitcher Tom Glavine, I wasn’t surprised. He has won two Cy Young Awards, 305 games, a World Series title and is a lock for the Hall of Fame. But, as we have seen before, ballplayers hang around past their prime and sometimes, embarrass themselves. He is 43, recovering from surgery and has made a fine comeback. But, he is 43 and it is time to hang up the spikes and end a great career.
