Summary: Glavine's gabbin'
Review: As a fan of the Atlanta Braves, I jumped at the chance to get a bit more background on one of the most dominating bullpens of our times. This bullpen brought us over five Cy Young awards and a string of divisional championships.My first thought was that this would be about the Braves. Since this was not quite the case, I felt it would an autobiography about Tom Glavine. Well, both of these are partly true, because the text is more of a series of reflections on his life and baseball. Unfortunately, these reflections don't appear to be in any particular order, which can be confusing for the readers. We learn about the seasons of the Braves going to the World Series and the one time they won. We read about the strike year and hear it from the point of view of Glavine who was a spokesman for the players union. Glavine shares his brief time in the minor leagues as well as his being drafted to play professional hockey. There are even some stories about famous Atlanta Braves and other players, like when he was supposed to retaliate for a hit batsman, but had a bit of inner turmoil because he would have to plunk Dale Murphy. Although the book could have gone through another edit, it does have some gems for baseball fans.

Summary: A great book for any Brave fan!!
Review: Comming from a 14 year old Brave Fan, I think this book is GREAT!! I have read this book over and over again, it's just that good!. None But The Braves is by Tom Glavine, a left handed pitcher for the Braves. It tells about his life, family, minor league days, his Major League career and the 1995 World Series(which Atlanta won!). I think this is a great book for any Braves fan, young or old.

Summary: He really is down to earth!
Review: I actually live in the town Tommy grew up in, and I have bumped into him several times. He attends high school sporting events every winter (he's always at our Thanksgiving day football game), and you can spot him around town. He really is down to earth, and for those of you who are not lucky enough to meet him, this book will give you a good idea of who he really is.

Summary: For Glavine Fans- That's about it
Review: I must reveal I'm a life long Braves fan. I've rooted for and respected Tommy Glavine since his rookie season pitching for 7,000 people at Fulton County stadium. I enjoyed this book just as I have enjoyed watching Glavine's career. However, the book doesn't reveal much insight into the Braves or the game of baseball-just Tommy Glavine. It reads like a book rushed to print in order to capitalize on the 1995 World Series MVPship of Glavine; while the marketability of Glavine was high. Its a standard baseball auto/biography. The 3 stars isn't to belittle this book: its an average book getting an average rating.

Summary: My review of None but the braves:A pitcher,a team,a champion
Review: I think that Tom Glavine did a wonderful job of writing this book. He explains his experiences throughout life in a way that is easy for anyone to understand. I enjoy seeing the photographs. His picture with his daughter Amber is adorable.

Summary: A great book for any Brave fan!!
Review: I've been a Glavine fan for many years, but just recently sat down to read his book. It was a delight. From his high school days until the "Championship"--it covered it all. I laughed and cried during this book (written pre-divorce). I hurt during the chapters about the strike and felt his frustration. This book is a must-read for any Brave fan. You will learn all about the man behind the "stopper" image, and there's quite a lot to know. My respect for him as a person grew by leaps and bounds after finishing the book.

Summary: Not bad
Review: Pretty good account of both Tom Glavine and the Braves. Weak in some areas.

Summary: The greatest book I ever read
Review: This book is a must for Atlanta Braves fans, baseball fans, or sports fans. Tom Glavine tells his whole life story including times when the Braves were the worst team in baseball. He tells about expierences in the Minors and life growing up as a hockey player in Billerica, Massachusetts. This book is a must if you are looking for something great to read.
