The Atlanta Braves honored Tom Glavine by retiring his uniform number Friday before their game against the San Francisco Giants.
Glavine’s No. 47 was placed beside former teammate Greg Maddux’s No. 31 on the Turner Field facade in left field during a 15-minute pregame ceremony. Maddux’s number was retired last year.
Before the presentation, delayed more than an hour by rain, Glavine sat with his adopted 1-year-old son, Kienan, on his lap at a platform near the mound at Turner Field.
Glavine was surrounded by his four other children, Jonathan, Peyton, Mason and Amber; and his wife, Chris. The entire current Braves team stood behind the platform.
