Newly inducted MLB Hall of Fame pitcher, Tom Glavine, known for his circle-changeup and pinpoint control, has just made the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility with over 90 percent of the votes. Tom’s election was not surprising as he was one of the best left-handed pitchers in baseball history, a five-time 20 game winner, ten-time All-Star and two-time Cy Young winner. Tom pitched in five World Series and was named MVP of the 1995 World Series.

A four year high school honor student, baseball wasn’t Tom’s only sport growing up. In 1984, he was drafted by both the Los Angeles Kings for hockey and the Atlanta Braves for baseball. Leaning more towards baseball, Tom signed with the Braves and made his debut as a 21-year-old in 1987 going on to earn 300 career wins with the Braves and New York Mets. Tom retired as a player in 2011 and became an advisor and TV announcer for the Braves. He lives in Alpharetta, Georgia with his wife, Christine, and their five children. The home in which they are currently living is for sale.

Tom’s home is on 1.95 acres in the exclusive gated community, Country Club of the South - a Hotlanta celebrity hotspot where Usher and Whitney Houston also once lived. At 10,222square feet with seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, the style includes columns, curved staircases and large crystal chandeliers. In addition to the formal rooms, there is also a large recreation area downstairs with a black granite wet bar, a wine cellar, a billiard area, exercise room and a putting green. Also included is a media room, a second kitchen and a library/office. The attractively landscaped grounds include a swimming pool. Rumor has it that the Glavines may be moving just down the road. They paid $620,000 for another home in the Country Club of the South community in 2001 and that lot now sports a new home with a baseball diamond in the backyard. For more information.
