100. Tom Glavine • P • 1987—2008
Made just one start in KC, on June 13, 2004 against a very green Zack Greinke, who said Glavine had "been one of my top favorite players my whole life. He knows how to pitch. That's what I want to do some day, be like him. He's amazing." Glavine was much better that day, pitching 7.2 innings and allowing only two unearned runs in the Mets 5-2 victory. But Glavine still saw something from Greinke, saying, "I was very impressed with him. For a 20-year-old kid, he's got great mound presence. He's got good stuff. I like the way he went about his business." (Info from the Lawrence Journal-World.)
