Customer Reviews

A great way to get to know Tom Glavine and the Braves.

This book is a must have for any Braves fan. It is the story of a dream and the realization of that dream by one of today's greatest pitchers. In it Tom shares his thoughts on bringing a World Series Championship to Atlanta. Something that the fans of the Braves have wanted for decades. And no one tells it better than the 1995 World Series MVP.

A great book for any Brave fan!!

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.

Witty and insightful

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.

A First Class book by a First Class Man

To be honest, when I bought this book I barely knew who Tom Glavine was. Of course I lived in Atlanta, and went to a couple of Braves games but after I read this book my concept of Tommy and the Braves changed. The man who always seems so serious is quite funny. You understand the "man" not just the "pitcher". After I read the book, I actually felt like I knew Tom Glavine. I compare this book to the movie Forrest Gump, which is my favorite movie of all time. Like the movie, this book made me feel all my emotions, but it made me laugh hysterical which I truly appreciated. You will have a whole new perspective on the game and the men behind it.Enjoy, I certainly did.

Insightfull, funny, dramatic and action packed!

Tom Glavine is smart and delightfully down to earth. None but the Braves exhibits a more human side to a man who, by many, is hailed as a hero. Live through the heartbreak of the strike and the glory of the World Series. A must for any baseball fan.
