The vast majority of Major League Baseball (MLB) fans must be familiar with Tom Glavine. He played for 21 seasons in the MLB before hanging his boots in 2008. Thomas Michael Glavine was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on 8th January 2014.
Tom was born on 25th March 1966 in Concord, Massachusetts. His father, Frederick J. Glavine, was a U.S. Army veteran and sports captain of his high school. Tom was into baseball and ice hockey from his early years. He was his state’s most valuable player (MVP). Finally, however, he decided to pursue his career in baseball.
The Los Angeles Kings drafted Tom in the 1984 NHL draft. He was selected 69th overall in the 4th round. But, his successful days came on the Atlantic coast with the MLB team Atlanta Braves. Glavine played for the Braves for 15 seasons from 1987 to 2002. Furthermore, he spent four years in New York with the New York Mets from 2003 to 2007 before returning to Atlanta for his retirement in 2008. The Braves retired his # 47 on 6th August 2010.
Apart from baseball, Tom is married to his lovely wife, Christine Glavine. The couple has been married for over two decades and is parents to five kids, Jonathan Flaig, Amber Nichole Glavine, Peyton Glavine, Mason Glavine, and Kienan Patrick Glavine together. Hence today, let’s get to know Tom Glavine’s children and see how they are growing up.
Tom Has A Daugther From His Previous Marriage And A Stepson
Tom Glavine was previously married to Carri Ann Dobbins from 1992 to 1997. From his ex-marriage, he had a daughter, Amber Glavine. She must be in her late 20s. Amber spent the majority of her childhood with her father’s family.
Furthermore, Tom Glavine’s daughter is very close with Christine and shares a lovely bond with her half-siblings and stepbrother. However, Amber seems to be very reserved and has stayed away from the spotlight.
Similar to Tom, Christine also has a child from her previous marriage. Jonathan Flaig was born in the same year as Tom’s only daughter, Amber, and grew up in the Glavine household.
Jonathan seems to be all grown up living with his partner. The family can be seen together on festivals celebrating them together.
