Pitching chart for Tom Glavine's start against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on August 31, 1997, filled out in ballpoint by fellow Hall of Famer Greg Maddux, and signed in the upper right corner by Maddux, "Greg Maddux"; also signed at the top in pencil by the pitching coach, "Good job in Boston! Leo Mazzone." The chart tracks Glavine's eight innings of work, followed by one inning by closer Mark Wohlers, recording each pitch and its result against Boston's nine batters. Glavine spread six hits over his eight innings while recording four strikeouts (against Nomar Garciaparra, Reggie Jefferson, Bill Haselman, and Troy O'Leary), giving up runs on two solo homers by Mo Vaughn and an RBI single by O'Leary. Also includes the original blue lineup card for the game, filled out and signed by manager Bobby Cox. Mounted, matted, and framed together using UV-protectant glass and acid free mats to an overall size of 28 x 22. In overall fine condition. This game held a special significance for the Massachusetts-born Glavine: it represented the first time in his MLB career that he pitched at Fenway Park against his hometown team. As seen in this pitching chart, he performed admirably in front of his friends and family to earn his twelfth win of the season. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and Beckett Authentication.
