Whined about Questec. Complains about today's juiced players when his MLBPA did everything to make sure juicers were protected. As phony as Roger Clemens patting Babe Ruth's monument. But if he can win games for the Mets, I can hold my nose and cheer. Mercenary. Whined about Questec.

Thanks for putting it together and giving us this better insight into Glavine. The quotes from his parents were especially interesting. I'll be honest. When Glavine first came to the Mets I was excited but I didn't really embrace him. He seemed for the longest time a Brave in Mets clothing. He's still not my favorite player by any means, but he did win me over with his outstanding performance in last year's playoffs when El Duque pulled up lame and the Mets really needed Glavine to come through. Whatever my personal feelings, I have the utmost respect for him -- both for what he's accomplished and how he's gone about doing it. He's a model of professionalism and a great role model for the younger pitchers on the team. I hope they've been paying attention. Maybe he hasn't been the ace some had hoped he'd be, but he has pitched better than his overall Mets record would indicate. He got lousy run support in his early years with the Mets. I'm looking forward to seeing him get #300 whether it's tonight or later. Hopefully tonight. John, great profile. Thanks for putting it together and giving us this better insight into Glavine.

You also brought a strong pitching record, family values and the willingness to be a teacher on a team with both veterans and youngsters. You brought manners, experience, class and humor. And soon you will bring a very special place in baseball history to yourself and to this Mets team. For that, all baseball fans who respect the game and those who play it well and by the rules, will forever Thank You. Joan Chapman, Cheshire, CT. Tom –

You did a great job putting that together. I've been a Glavine fan since I was 12 years old. I'm 28 now and am so happy I've had the priviledge of following so much of his career, whether it was with the Braves or now with the Mets. The cool thing about being a Glavine fan is, you end up not just being a fan of the pitcher, but also the man, since he's such a good guy along with his athletic ability. I'm actually in Milwaukee right now. Flew up to attend tonight's game and am hoping against hope that he gets 300. To be there for that would be amazing.... *crossing fingers* First of all, I loved the article. You did a great job putting that together.
