ATLANTA -- Historical accounts will forever remember Aug. 14, 2008, as the day that Mark Kotsay became just the second player in Atlanta Braves history to hit for the cycle.

Two years later, Tom Glavine has provided much more significance to that summer evening.

While Glavine's results during a four-inning effort against the Cubs proved forgettable, the determined left-hander and all of his fans will now remember this as the final day that he took the mound during his Major League career.

Like so many other legendary figures from the world of sports, Glavine found his storied career didn't include anything that could be mistaken for a storybook conclusion.

But as Glavine accepted a new role with the Braves' front office and officially announced his retirement on Thursday afternoon at Turner Field, he expressed no regrets about a career that will seemingly allow him to one day mingle with a handful of ex-teammates in Cooperstown.

he should be a pitching coach for the braves, but instead he took that special assistant job
