Glavine, a two-time NL Cy Young Award winner (1991 and \u201998) and 10-time All-Star, was 305-203 with a 3.54 ERA over 22 seasons combined with the Braves and New York Mets.<\/p>\n

The most prolific addition in terms of hitters to the ballot is Frank Thomas. The 1993 and 1994 AL MVP \u00a0finished his 19-year career with 2,468 hits, including 521 home runs. He drove in 1,704 runs, scored 1,494 and had more walks (1,667) than strikeouts (1,397).<\/p>\n
