41_0	The Big Three was a trio of Major League Baseball starting pitchers for the Atlanta Braves from 1993
41_1	to 2002 which consisted of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz. The Big Three combined to win
41_2	seven National League Cy Young Awards in the 1990s and helped lead the Atlanta Braves to a 1995
41_3	World Series win. Each member of the Big Three has had their jersey retired by the Atlanta Braves
41_4	and were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in their first years of eligibility.
41_5	Pre-Big 3
41_6	Tom Glavine made his Major League debut on August 17, 1987, while John Smoltz made his Major League
41_7	debut on July 23, 1988. At that time, Greg Maddux was playing with the Chicago Cubs. Both Smoltz
41_8	and Glavine quickly established themselves as viable starting pitchers for the Braves by 1990
41_9	(although Glavine was just 33–43 from 1987 to 1990). Smoltz went to his first All-Star Game in 1989
41_10	while going 12–11 record and 2.94 ERA in 208 innings. For a team that won just 65 games in 1990,
41_11	Smoltz and Glavine combined for 24 wins to 23 losses.
41_12	Their dominance begun in 1991 as Tom Glavine had a NL-leading 20 wins, winning his first Cy Young
41_13	Award. They helped lead the Atlanta Braves to a National League West Division title for the first
41_14	time in nine years. While Glavine lost his two starts, Smoltz won both of his starts (including
41_15	Game 7) to help the Braves prevail over the Pittsburgh Pirates to win the National League pennant,
41_16	their first since 1958. In the World Series, Glavine started Game 2 and 5 while Smoltz started Game
41_17	4 and 7 in a classic series that matched them against the Minnesota Twins; Glavine split his starts
41_18	while Smoltz received two no-decisions, which included the Twins rallying to notch the
41_19	series-winning run in the tenth inning of the deciding game.
41_20	Smoltz and Glavine's success continued into 1992, with Glavine finishing second in the Cy Young
41_21	voting, and Smoltz being named to the National League All-Star team. In the National League
41_22	Championship Series, Smoltz started Game 1 and 4 while Glavine started Games 3 and 6 (which
41_23	resulted in two wins for the former and losses for the latter) to set up a pivotal Game 7, which
41_24	had Smoltz as starter in what would later be considered one of the best postseason games ever
41_25	played, as the Braves scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning (including two on their
41_26	final out) to prevail over Pittsburgh and win their second straight league pennant. Smoltz pitched
41_27	the most innings of any pitcher in the series with 20.1 innings while going 2-0 on his way to being
41_28	named NLCS MVP. Glavine started Game 1 and Game 4, while Smoltz started Games 2 and 5 as the Braves
41_29	lost the series to the Toronto Blue Jays in six games.
41_30	Big Three era
41_31	The Early Years: 1993 and 1994 Seasons
41_32	Prior to the 1993 MLB season, the Atlanta Braves signed Greg Maddux (who had won the National
41_33	League Cy Young Award the previous year) from the Chicago Cubs, marking the beginning of the Big
41_34	Three era. The Big Three had a strong 1993 season as Maddux posted a 20–10 record, winning his
41_35	second straight NL Cy Young Award, Glavine led the National League in wins for the third
41_36	consecutive season as he posted a 22–6 record, and Smoltz once again made the All Star team. The
41_37	"Big Three" helped the Braves win the National League West for the third consecutive season,
41_38	despite trailing the San Francisco Giants for most of the season. The Braves eventually fell to the
41_39	Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Championship Series. Maddux won his third consecutive
41_40	Cy Young Award in the strike-shortened 1994 season as he posted a 16–6 record, had a NL-leading ERA
41_41	of 1.56, and struck out 156 batters.
41_42	World Series Season: 1995 Champions
41_43	The 1995 season saw strong performances from the group, as Maddux won his fourth consecutive NL Cy
41_44	Young Award with a league-leading 19–2 record and 1.63 ERA. In 1995 the Big Three won its first
41_45	(and only) World Series over the Cleveland Indians, with Glavine receiving the World Series MVP for
41_46	his efforts. Glavine won both of his starts (Game 2 and 6), and he allowed just four hits and two
41_47	runs in fourteen innings pitched (which included a one-hit eight inning effort in the clinching
41_48	sixth game). with eleven strikeouts to six walks.
41_49	Postseason Letdowns: 1996 - 1999 Seasons
41_50	The trio had another strong season in 1996, with Smoltz leading the league in wins and strikeouts
41_51	on his way to winning the National League Cy Young Award. In the National League Championship
41_52	Series, they faced the underdog St. Louis Cardinals; Smoltz won the opening game, but the Braves
41_53	soon fell behind under surprises losses by Maddux and Glavine. Down 3-1 in the series, the Braves
41_54	proceeded to rally with wins from all three members of the trio while allowing just one run
41_55	combined to win three straight games and complete the comeback to become the eighth team in MLB
41_56	history to overcome a 3-1 deficit and the first to do so in an NLCS. In the World Series, they were
