I am not saying that Glavine is not deserving but was he the dominate pitcher of his era, no. Randy Johnson was a better pitcher. Let's compare stats for the 2 plus I will throw in Carlton, the most dominating lefty in recent history.

Glavine:

Wins- 303 (and counting)
ERA- 3.48
K- 2563
20 win seasons- 5
19 win seasons- 0
Cy Young- 2

Johnson:

Wins- 284
ERA- 3.22
K- 4616
20 win seasons- 3
19 win seasons- 3
Cy Young- 5

Carlton:

Wins- 329
ERA- 3.22
K- 4136
20 win seasons- 6
19 win seasons- 0
Cy Young- 4

Averaged out over 20 seasons Johnson has 1 less win but 100 more K's and a .26 better Earned Run Average.
